Surface Engineering
The REM ISF (isotropic super finishing) is a procedure that can be personalized for every batch of engineered metal components. Sizing, condition, metal makeup, design as well as other modifications are taken care of on a batch-by-batch basis. Which means, prior to a price is estimated, every batch need to be tested.
Basically the REM ISF process is a surface engineering procedure that strips the peaks on the metal surface producing a smooth surface. This is different from a coating process like electroplating which fills inside the valleys to create a smooth area. In coatings, another sort of metal is added in, in this case, it breaks off at some point so REM ISF doesn't do it like the coating process. So, it's the base metal and that is the reason why it doesn't pit and do not have those issues since once you place something on top of metal, it at some point will break off.

Viewing REM ISF to metal surface hand polishing is the best way to think about this surface engineering procedure. The classic hand polishing process remains used by other businesses but with REM's ISF procedure, this can be achieved considerably quicker, much better and in bigger amounts.
REM ISF process has been around for 15 years already, that is why the procedure sounds high tech. Since the end products are smooth and shiny, this surface engineering procedure found uses in the market that calls for decorative metals.

Considering that people are more likely to test on vehicles than the Army or NASA, REM ISF process was first used by the racing market. Since that time, NASCAR along with automotive sports found out that higher gas mileage, quicker velocity and lower prices are accomplished because these surface engineering components last longer, an extra edge made possible by REM ISF.
Preparing the metal area before putting coating on it is really an additional use of surface engineering of metal pieces. Some businesses realize that after they used the REM ISF surface engineering process it's really not necessary to make use of a coating because what a coating will do, does smooth things out, some of those other retention properties and things like that our procedure does and with a coating deterioration will eventually chip away a piece of it just like any other coating.
