Aerospace / Aircraft
Brush Research Manufacturing (BRM) provides Flex-Hone® tools and industrial abrasive brushes to aerospace companies, aircraft manufacturers, jet engine builders, and aviation MROs. Available in various abrasive types, grits, and sizes, the Flex-Hone® tool provides superior cutting and surface finishing for aerospace materials and space age alloys such as type 302, 304, 416 and 17-4 stainless steels; Hasteloy®, Monel®, and Inconel® 718; Titanium 6AL-4V; and specialty aluminum alloys.
The Diamond Flex-Hone® from Brush Research is ideal for the deburring, edge blending, chamfering, and surface finishing of hard materials like carbide, ceramic, and aerospace steel alloys. With its resin-bond crystals, this diamond tool is used to automate labor-intensive activities such as chamfered honing, hole drilling, edge breaking, and deburring. For surface conditioning and parts deburring after machining or grinding, choose NamPower® abrasive brushes as your aerospace / aircraft brushes.
