This fluid is typically very\u00a0viscous, having the consistency of putty or dough.\u00a0AFM smooths and finishes rough surfaces, and is specifically used to remove\u00a0burrs, polish surfaces, form radii, and even remove material. The nature of AFM makes it ideal for interior surfaces, slots, holes, cavities, and other areas that may be difficult to reach with other\u00a0polishing\u00a0or\u00a0grinding\u00a0processes. Abrasive flow\u00a0machining\u00a0was first patented by the\u00a0Extrude Hone Corporation\u00a0in 1970.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Extrude Hones range now also includes AFM MICROFLOW.MICROFLOW provides high-precision polishing down to the micron level.<\/p>\n<p>Feel free to contact us for an in-depth presentation<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  ><div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1926868044\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img width=\"640\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/gradning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/afm-principskiss.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gradning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/afm-principskiss.jpg 640w, https:\/\/gradning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/afm-principskiss-300x188.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style scope=\"scope\">\n\n#image_1926868044 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_428220369\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img width=\"1015\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/gradning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AFM-1015x1024.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gradning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AFM-1015x1024.png 1015w, https:\/\/gradning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AFM-297x300.png 297w, https:\/\/gradning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AFM-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/gradning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AFM-768x774.png 768w, https:\/\/gradning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AFM-762x768.png 762w, https:\/\/gradning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AFM.png 1186w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1015px) 100vw, 1015px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style scope=\"scope\">\n\n#image_428220369 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gap-element\" style=\"display:block; height:auto; padding-top:30px\" class=\"clearfix\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-blank.php","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gradning.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/265"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gradning.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gradning.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gradning.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gradning.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=265"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/gradning.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/265\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":471,"href":"https:\/\/gradning.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/265\/revisions\/471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gradning.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
