Turning surface ( Outer diameter )

5056 Aluminum Alloy

1045 Carbon Steel​

Notes

  • We guarantee that there will be no scratches of 0.7 mm or more on the dot gauge and that no nails will be scratched.
  • Surface roughness: √Ra6.3 [√Rz25]
  • Depending on the material and size, the product may be shipped with an untreated surface (polishing and rolling). Please see below for details. →[FA Mechanical Parts] Turning Parts>Conditions of Use for Standard Materials (Polished bars and Cold finished material)

Caution

Although cutter marks may remain, specification in relation to the marks is not supported.

Tip

Because this is a fusion process in which an electric discharge from an electrode melts the metal for cutting, it is not characterized by a shiny surface like cutting.

Surface Treatment Quality Standards

25540_10_usEN

Caution

  • Since film thickness management is difficult for small diameter precision holes, etc., additional machining may be carried out after processing, and as a result, the surface treatment may not remain on the cutting surface.
  • The surface treatment may not remain on the inside of holes as holes may be masked.
  • Surface treatment suspension and electrode contact marks may remain on the product.
  • To ensure contact points for the following target surface treatments, at least one of the hanging shapes listed in (1) to (5) above is required.
  • If there is no feature in the model for hanging the part, a through-hole will be made at any position for hanging.

Quenching Quality Standards

After quenching

Blast finishing

Grinding finishing (outer diameter)

Grinding finishing (inner diameter)

Caution

  • Blasting is performed to remove surface contamination after quenching. There is no change in accuracy due to the treatment.
  • The photo shows sandblasting, but shot blasting is also available. Blast type cannot be specified.
  • If there are tolerances in the outer and inner diameters, grinding may be performed in the finishing process. In such cases, the appearance will change as shown in the above figure.
  • Grinding cannot be specified. Whether to carry out grinding will be determined at the factory from the perspective of accuracy assurance.
  • Since the threaded part is also hardened, there are cases where the threaded part may be damaged depending on the application. We currently do not accept specifications such as “only the threaded part cannot be hardened”.

Conditions of Use for Standard Materials (Polished bars and Cold finished material)

If the maximum diameter is applicable to the standard material, the factory will use the standard material at its own discretion, which may result in differences in appearance.

Caution

  • If it is not included in the standard table, it will be shaved.
  • Shaving will be used for non-standard materials

What is maximum diameter?

  • The maximum diameter on the cylindrical surface of the product. (highlighted in light blue)
  • Even if the groove is divided by a groove as shown in Figure 3, it is recognized as one element as long as it has the same diameter.
