Thermal Deburring: Efficient, Effective Parts Finishing The deburring of machined or die cast plastic or metal parts could be a time-consuming and costly process. There are lots of deburring processes available, including manual or mechanical deburring, electrochemical deburring, and cryogenic deburring. These techniques, while effective, rarely increase the risk for complete deburring from the work surface-burrs are missed or otherwise completely removed, or they come in areas which are inaccessible towards the deburring device(s). Thermal deburring offers complete deburring of parts and components, in a small fraction of time that other methods require. And, compared to other other methods, the thermal deburr process does apply to multiple workpieces concurrently, which makes it a quicker and much more efficient finishing method. How Thermal Deburring Works Thermal deburring utilizes a brief blast of maximum heat to totally remove burrs. The work surface is positioned inside a closed, sealed chamber, that is then full of an exact combination of combustible gas and oxygen. This mix will be ignited, developing a small, controlled explosion with combustion temperatures up to 3500°C. Although it lasts merely a couple of milliseconds, this relieve heat will enhance the temperature from the burrs around the work surface past their ignition point. Burrs then burn completely away, generally departing only oxide powder residue behind. Since the mass of the majority of the work surface is way more than those of the burrs, it doesn't achieve its ignition point. Thermal deburring doesn't have ill impact on the processed part itself.
