What is the impact of ESF™ Advanced Nanoscale Surface Technology on sub-surface damage?
The typical ESF™ ANST process does not generate subsurface damage. Traditional surface finishing applications require multiple polishing steps, each using finer and finer abrasive particles to achieve the ultimate surface finish. Aggressive polishing using large, hard particles in the early stages of the process causes a high rate of stock removal. This aggressive polishing introduces subsurface damage that must be removed in subsequent finishing steps. With ESF™ ANST, the surface layer of the substrate is chemically modified making it easy to remove.
