Deburring of aluminium components - CYL.HEAD AND CRANKCASE

2007

Dear sir,

I am working in a OEM
Presently we are deburring cylinder head and crankcase (AL) components by using planetary deburring head unit with DISC BRUSHES (240 and 320 grit).After deburring the abrasives are sitting on the faces as paste.(Since the prior operations coolant is used,it mix with the minutes particles which comes out after deburring and form as paste).That paste is not removing fully even after washing.it goes only by wiping.Kindly suggest how to avoid this

Step one would be to remove the cutting fluid before the deburr. This may take an organic cleaner if your cutting fluid is an actual oil. You might think about switching to a water soluble cutting fluid.

You may try deburring wheels of non-woven materials.
