Steel reaming is a machining process that involves enlarging and finishing a pre-existing hole in a piece of steel using a reaming tool. This process is typically used to achieve a high level of accuracy and precision in the diameter, surface finish, and roundness of the hole. We perform reaming using a milling machine or drill press.
The steel reaming process is important because it helps to ensure that the final product meets the required specifications and tolerances. The process is particularly useful in industries where precision and accuracy are critical, such as aerospace, automotive, and medical device manufacturing.
Kind of Reamers:
Some commonly used reamer types include:
• Shell reamer
• Rose reamer
• Right hand spiral reamer
• Straight reamer
The type of reamer that is used will depend on the specific machining application and the requirements for the finished product. Meanwhile, there are many more options, and even custom-made reamers for more demanding projects.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
•High degree accuracy & consistency: The precision of reaming is between IT9-IT6, and the surface roughness is Ra1.6-0.4μm. This is because reaming tools are designed to remove only a small amount of material at a time, which allows for greater control over the size and shape of the hole. The resulting hole will have a smooth surface finish and a high degree of roundness, which is important for applications such as bearing and bushing seats.
•Minimize machining production runs: Another benefit of steel reaming is that it can help to prolong the life of the tools and equipment used in the manufacturing process. By producing holes with a high level of accuracy and precision, the need for additional machining or finishing operations is reduced. This can help to reduce the wear and tear on the tools and equipment, which can lead to cost savings over time.
•Surface finish: Reamers are a tool used in manufacturing to create smooth walls in an existing hole. They remove less material than drill bits and are typically used with a milling machine or drill press. Reamers should always be used to achieve the desired tolerance when a high surface finish is required for a hole.
The applications of steel reaming are numerous and varied. Some common applications include the production of engine blocks, transmission housings, and other automotive components, as well as the manufacture of aircraft engine parts, medical implants, and other precision components.
In summary, steel reaming is an important machining process that can help to achieve a high level of accuracy and precision in the diameter, surface finish, and roundness of a pre-existing hole in a piece of steel. This process is particularly useful in industries where precision and accuracy are critical, and can help to prolong the life of the tools and equipment used in the manufacturing process. Some common applications of steel reaming include the production of automotive and aircraft components, medical implants, and other precision components.
