Characteristics of Surface Grinding Service

Table of Content [Hide]

    High-precision machining technology, particularly surface grinding service, has become an indispensable processing method across many industries due to its outstanding dimensional accuracy, geometric precision, and superior surface quality. Through meticulous grinding techniques, components with extremely high precision and excellent surface properties can be manufactured. This technology is widely applied in aerospace, automotive manufacturing, precision instruments, and various other sectors.


    High-Precision Machining


    • High Dimensional Accuracy: Surface grinding service enables ultra-fine dimensional machining, achieving surface roughness values ranging from Ra 0.006μm to 0.1μm. It supports micro-cutting with roughness as low as Ra 0.1μm and can reach machining tolerances as precise as 0.025μm.


    • High Geometric Accuracy: As a generating process, surface grinding naturally corrects workpiece errors and can machine complex shapes such as internal and external cylinders, cones, planes, convex and concave surfaces, and internal and external spheres. This ensures exceptionally high shape accuracy and a certain level of positional precision.


    Excellent Surface Quality


    • Low Surface Roughness: Surface grinding is a micro-cutting process with shallow cutting depths and complex tool paths, effectively reducing the surface roughness of parts. This produces an ultra-smooth finish, providing an ideal base for subsequent polishing or functional coatings.


    • No Heat-Affected Layer: Conducted under low speed and low pressure conditions, surface grinding generates minimal cutting heat, resulting in a very thin or negligible heat-affected layer. Ground surfaces exhibit reduced friction, improved wear resistance, enhanced surface strength, and greater corrosion resistance. Additionally, the grinding process does not cause microscopic cracks.


    Wide Applicability


    • Material Compatibility: Surface grinding service is suitable for a wide range of metals such as steel, copper, aluminum, cast iron, and cemented carbides, as well as non-metal materials including glass, ceramics, plastics, and semiconductors.


    • Production Flexibility: This service accommodates both one-off manual production and batch mechanical manufacturing. It does not demand highly precise equipment, enabling the processing of high-precision workpieces even on relatively simple or less precise machines under certain conditions.


    Low Abrasive Tool Requirements


    The abrasives used in surface grinding are relatively simple and do not require extremely high precision. Typically, the hardness of abrasive materials is lower than that of the workpiece. Since abrasives wear down during grinding, timely dressing or replacement is necessary to maintain performance.


    Flexible Machining Process


    During surface grinding, the machine tool, abrasive, and workpiece operate in an elastically floating state, allowing automatic micro-feed. The process can be paused at any time to remove the workpiece for measurement, enabling on-the-spot adjustments to machining accuracy as needed.


    Bostec's surface grinding service combines advanced technology with extensive experience to deliver high-precision machining solutions. We ensure that our customers' products achieve industry-leading standards in dimensional accuracy, geometric precision, and surface quality.

    Hello, my name is Victor Dai. The founder of Hong Kong Bostec. 

    When I was young, I enjoyed doing any type of puzzle and assembling different types of model cars. That’s why I chose engineering as my major in high school. 

    I have been working in the mold industry since graduation from high school. Because of my interest in this industry and I am a faster learner. I mastered different techniques such as grinding, milling, turning, and CNC operation. So I was promoted to senior engineer. I take responsibility for teaching other junior engineers how to better produce the parts. After gaining a lot of valuable experience. I fulfilled my ambition to start my own workshop with only two machines. After years and years, I have more clients gradually, so at the same time, I keep increasing to buy more machines. My factory specializes in high-precision grinding. Milling, turning, and multi-axis CNC parts. Our factory has been cooperating with German and Austrian clients for many years as we are an integrity supplier. Our clients are highly satisfied with the quality of our mold parts provided. 

    I dedicated myself to the mold industry nearly 40 years. Our factory can provide high quality mechanical parts at competitive prices. We sincerely invite you to visit our website: www.hkbostec.com to further realize different types of mold services and parts we can offer.
