Reaming

Reaming is a process in surface technology that is used to remove material from a surface in order to smooth, clean or prepare it for further processing. This process is often used to create a uniform surface or to remove impurities, roughness or oxidation.

In surface technology, reaming plays an important role in preparing workpieces for subsequent steps such as coating, soldering processes or other surface treatments. Mechanical reaming can be carried out by various methods, including grinding, brushing or polishing, depending on the specific requirements of the application.

Reaming not only improves the surface finish, but can also increase the adhesion of coatings or compounds to the material. It is used in various industries, from metalworking to electronics manufacturing to precision component manufacturing, to ensure precise surface quality and optimize the performance of end products.
