3 Subcontract Services High Energy & Vibratory Finishing Here at ActOn, we have an exclusive facility, equipped with state-of-theart finishing machinery, such as high energy and vibratory machines. All our machines are manufactured at our site in Coventry, and along with our range of consumables, we offer a complete package to achieve the required surface finish. Centrifugal High Energy Finishing The high energy machines provide a speedy finishing solution, as well as a high quality finish to the parts, eliminating any need for fixturing and preventing their impingement. Our subcontract facility has a range of high energy systems made with the latest in high energy technology. With a variety of applications, the high energy machines can give you an aggressive cut-down; yet are precise enough to give a mirror shine to most of your delicate components. Both wet and dry processes can be carried out in these machines. One of the main advantages of the high energy finishing is the reduced processing times, with most applications taking between 10 to 30 minutes. Hence, ActOn can provide a quick turnaround time for the finished components. Vibratory Finishing Along with the high energy machines, we also have vibratory finishing equipment, which processes parts of variable sizes and batch quantities. Our range of vibratory finishing machines available in our subcontract facility includes bowls, troughs and dryers. These machines have been built to suit various customer applications from deburring, descaling, radiusing and cleaning to polishing, drying and surface improvement. The wide range of vibratory machines and accessories enables us to process parts with different shapes and sizes. Even though the process time required to finish components in the vibratory finishing machines is longer in comparison with the process carried out in the high energy finishing machines, we offer a competitive turnaround time and a cost effective solution. 4 5

6 Subcontract Services Precision Polishing & Inspection In order to provide you with complete surface finishing solutions, we offer a precision polishing service for components from various industry sectors. In combination with our barrelling capability, you ll benefit in terms of cost, delivery and quality. Our applications include removal of manufacturing defects on medical components, aerofoils, gun components, automotive parts and many more, which are inherent in the casting and forging process. To comply with the quality standards required by our customers, ActOn has continuously invested in the development of the machinery and technology and has implemented and followed a stringent quality control code. Nevertheless, a big part of our success is due to our commitment to employing highly skilled staff and continuously training them to the required standards. Our trained inspectors ensure every component is inspected to the required specification prior to delivery. The inspections can include visual, dimensional and surface finish measurements. Our document controls ensure that all inspections are recorded for traceability purposes. The following are some examples of components we precision polish and inspect: Aluminium forgings Gun bodies Aerospace blades 3D printed parts Medical implants Automotive pedals 10 11

7 Subcontract Services Blasting and Peening What is Shot blasting? Shot blasting is a process used to prepare the component surface prior to coating or application of overlays. The method includes directing at a high speed spherical blasting media, through compressed air, against the component surface to clean, remove corrosion, mill scale, paint or rust, achieve a smooth finish, polish and strengthen (peening) the metal. Blasting results can be manipulated by length of exposure to blasting, when in a tumbler, or adjustment of pressure, nozzle size and nozzle distance when in a cabinet or shot blasting room. The blasting media type, shape, size, density, and hardness, along with media acceleration and volume of media, combined with blasting distance from the work piece, angle of impact and time cycles are important factors in the blast process capabilities. Selecting the right abrasive media is essential and depends upon the condition of the material before blasting and the finish required after blasting. Shot blasting is widely used in different industries such as defence, aerospace, automotive, general engineering, construction, rail and many more. The Shot blasting process can be applied on metals and softer materials such as plastics and wood. The process can also provide decorative finishes. Applications Visual Bright matte finish Mechanical Deburring Our service is summarised in the table below Dull matte finish De-flashing Satin finish Paint and coating removal Satin luster finish Peening Blending of tool marks Pre paint and coating adhesion Removal of weld discoloration Heat treat, mill scale removal Surface cleaning Weld splatter removal Glass frosting and etching Thermal metal spray prep Pre plate and anodize finished Rust removal Mold cleaning Our facilities and what we can do Type of blasting Abrasive Type Process Reasons Automatic Blasting Hand Cabinets Room Blasting (Non-Ferrous Abrasives) Room Blasting (Ferrous Abrasives) Various size ball shot and grit Glass Bead Aluminium Oxide or Glass Bead Grit Media and Ball Shot Rubber belted machines that tumble items in bulk whilst blasting Cabinets for blasting of individual items Maximum room capacity of 7m x 3.25m x 2.5m Maximum room capacity of 7m x 3.25m x 2.5m Cleaning of materials for industry.

8 Subcontract Services Services Cleaning standards New coatings will not adhere on component s surface if the surface has not been prepared properly, by removing the rust or the mill scale. Rectifying the failure of coating can be expensive and time consuming, as it implies removing the coating, prepare the surface finish, re-coating and in some cases the component might need to be dismantled and assembled. Equipment Refurbishment and Spare Parts Service Our service can achieve the desired Sa standards to ensure that the part s surface is cleaned to the specification. This ensures the metal is prepared for the coating stage avoiding any future failures. Standard Blasting Method Finish Reasons N/A N/A Initial stage prior to blasting. Sa 1 Light blast cleaning When inspected without magnification, component surface is free from poorly adhering mill scale, rust, old coating, foreign matter, visible oil, grease and dirt. Sa 2 Thorough blast cleaning When inspected without magnification, most of the mill scale, rust, old coating, foreign matter, visible oil, grease and dirt are removed. Residual contamination is very well adhered. Sa 2 ½ Sa 3 Very thorough blast cleaning Blast cleaning to visual clean steel When inspected without magnification, component surface is completely free from mill scale, rust, old coating, foreign matter, visible oil, grease and dirt. Some traces of contamination are visible as slight stains in form of spots or stripes. When inspected without magnification, component surface is completely free from mill scale, rust, old coating, foreign matter, visible oil, grease and dirt. Their metal is free from any spots, stripes or discoloration and the component surface has a uniform white metal colour.
