Abrasive Flow Machining A method used to deburr and polish; hone and radius parts and difficult-to-reach surfaces. Abrasive Flowing Machinery also referred to Flowable Cutting tools. The typical AFM process (two-way flow) utilizes two vertically opposed cylinders, which extrude an abrasive media back and forth through passages formed by the workpiece and the tooling. One-way AFM systems flow the abrasive media through the workpiece openings in only one direction, allowing the media to exit freely from the part for fast processing, easy cleaning and simple quick-exchange tooling. The key adjective in describing AFM Media is viscoelastic. Meaning, the Media is viscous and thus flows when a force is applied. It also is elastic, or rubber-like. This "rubber-like" property acts as the "backbone" of the Media, holding the abrasive cutting particles against the surface being machined. Used Abrasive Flow Machinery (AFM) are classified as H5875.
