Extruded and Cut Aluminum Tube

Extruded and Cut Aluminum Tube

The picture above shows an extruded and cut aluminum tube that requires both deburring and removal of the extrusion lines along the sides (inside and out). These 6" long tube sections were vibratory tumbled with a Ceramic Angle Cut Cylinder for 1 hour to produce the clean, rounded edges and surface finish seen in the picture below. A fast cutting (KSF Bond) media was used to minimize the cycle time needed to remove the heavier burrs and extrusion lines. This part is now ready for a variety of secondary steps including coating, anodizing or polishing.
