Steel Parts Deburring and Oxide Removal


NS TESTS

Material: Steel Parts
Problem: Lateral Oxide Layer
Solution: Edge rounding combined with the oxide removal process

NS Máquinas received a request from a customer with steel parts with a layer of oxide on the lateral of the metal part. The metal parts had 12mm thickness and 200x200mm width.

Metal parts with an oxide layer on the lateral

The tests were conducted with a DM1100 C – Deburring machine which it is possible to equip with two different types of deburring blocks: edge rounding blocks and wire blocks for oxide layer removal.

It is possible to use the second blocks (oxide removal) with parts up to 20mm and ideally up to 16mm for better results. We process with two
different processes:

1)     One pass in each side of the parts to remove oxide layer and edge rounding;
2)     Two passes in each side of the parts to remove oxide layer;


All the tests were positive removing the oxide layer, check the following picture of the two samples:

On top: 1st process; On the bottom: 2nd process.

The total oxide layer was removed from all the sides of the metal sample. The edge rounding process is a choice for the customer considering that the machine allows both types of blocks. In this case, it was also suggested a double-side machine (DM1100 2C - Double-Sided Edge Rounding Machine) to decrease the processing time by 50%.
