Hydro-erosive machining

Hydro-erosive machining, also known as flow grinding, is a process for refining and smoothing surfaces, particularly in hard-to-reach areas of complex components. In this process, an abrasive liquid is passed through or over the workpiece at high speed. The abrasive particles in the liquid remove material from the surface, resulting in uniform smoothing and improved surface quality.

This method is often used to remove burrs, polish surfaces and optimize the geometry of internal contours. A key advantage of hydro-erosive machining is its ability to deliver precise and repeatable results, even with complex geometries. It also enables the machining of areas that are difficult to access with traditional mechanical processes. The use of this process not only improves the aesthetic quality of surfaces, but also increases the functionality and service life of components.
