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.

• 

  Reduce Friction
• Increase Part Durability
• Improve Corrosion Resistance
• Reduce Wear
• Reduce Lubrication Requirements and Cost
• Improve Oil Retention Properties
• Reduce Contact and Bending Fatigue
• Improve Pitting Resistance
• Reduce Vibration and Noise
• Reduce Applied Torque Requirements
• Produce a Uniform Surface Finish
• Produce a Superior Surface Finish

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
