Honing Job work process:
The Honing Process provides the final sizing and creates the desired finish pattern on the interior of tubing or cylinder bores. finishing is accomplished by expanding abrasive and diamond stone of suitable on it and grade against the work surface.
Honing operation can be done by two method:
• Hand Honing - for a small lot of work pieces
• vertical honing - for a big size
• cylinder honing- like tube
Advantages of honing process:
• Less complex or low cost fixtures
• It is highly accurate
• It can be used for both long and short bores
• It maintains the original bore
• Honing uses a large contact area at as low speed compared with grinding or fine boring which uses a small contact area at high speed
• Diameters with 0.001 to 0.0001 micron and closer accuracies can be honed by using diamond stones
Limitations of Honing Process:
• Honing is though as slow process
• Horizontal Honing May create oval holes unless the work is rotated
Application of Honing Process:
• Finishing round holes
• Finishing hollow cylinder part gear honing
• Finishing sizes
