REM ISF

Benefits

What is the REM ISF® Process?

The REM Isotropic Superfinish (ISF) Process is a value adding and performance enhancing improvement to conventional machining operations such as grinding and lapping. The extensive benefits of the ISF Process add value and improve performance across a wide range of industries.

Operational Advantages:

Eliminate Break-in
Extend Component Life
Reduce Metal Debris
Reduce Part Failures
Minimize Overheating

Why the ISF Process is important to any application:

Less inertia = Less friction = Less fuel consumed
Reduction of friction of metal to metal contact parts = Less wear and contact fatigue.
Lower operating temperatures = Increased power output and efficiency
Increased power density = options of larger engines or smaller transmissions
Increased durability = Lower replacement costs and fewer failures

Additional Benefits:

Improved bending fatigue resistance
Reduced lubrication maintenance
Quieter operation
Reduces rotational torque
No metallurgical degradation
No geometrical degradation
