The Flex-Hone line of finishing tools from Brush Research Manufacturing Co. Inc. (Los Angeles, CA) is available with cubic boron nitride (CBN) abrasive for difficult-to-finish materials such as high-nickel-alloy steels. CBN combines the highest hardness with excellent toughness to provide the optimum surface finish on materials including Monel, Inconel, Incoloy, Hasteloy, Invar, and Rene.
The low-pressure, low-temperature Flex-Hone reduces the work-hardened layer produced by machining operations without imparting thermally induced distortion. The resulting surface is less prone to oxidation and stress-induced cracking.
Sizes from 4 mm to 20 mm are standard in three mesh sizes. Additional diameters and mesh selections are available on special order. The Flex-Hone is also available in other specialty abrasives including diamond and ceramic. Standard silicon carbide and aluminum oxide abrasive hones are always in stock.
