Benefits - Material

When applied to the following metals, REM’s revolutionary ISF^® Process produces a unique isotropic surface condition. The Isotrpoic SuperfinishProcess significantly reduces wear in parts made of these materials. REM is always open to working with new materials and alloys. If you have parts that would like to have ISF processed that are not composed of one of the above listed materials, simply contact REM for more information.

Common Metals Utilizing the ISF Process:

Steel (Carbon, Tool)
Stainless Steels
Titanium
Other Engineered Materials

Benefits of friction reduction:

Increase Fuel Economy
Reduce Contact Fatigue
Increase Power Density
Reduce Lubrication Requirements and Cost
Lower Operating Temperature
Extend Mean Time Between Maintenance
Reduce Vibration and Noise
Extend Part Life and Reduce Part Failures
Reduce Maintenance Costs

Consider some proven testimonials related to reduced friction in machine parts:

Reduce transmission noise by up to 7dB in helicopter gear boxes
95% reduction in gear wear as compared with non-ISF processed components
Industrial trucking and racecar engine components processed with an Isotropic Superfinish, generate increased power output, increased part life and lower operating costs.
