Deburring and chamfering both are the process aiming to remove the raised edges and unwanted pieces or chips at the end of steels and metals, known as burrs.

Burring is an extremely common occurrence during the machining process of steel and metal products. Burrs may appear during several different stages of machining like stamping, forming, cutting, turning, etc. Edge quality has a significant impact on the form, performance, and life of the steels and metals. Burrs and raised edges take a toll on the correct fit and assembly of machine parts. These are critical for precision components used in the aerospace, automotive, and electronics industry. Aside from the correct fit, for mating parts such as gears, rollers, and other sliding surfaces, burrs can impinge and damage the parts.

Therefore, burrs removing is an essential process that determines the quality of a product.

In Gofar New Material we have could employ two methods to remove the burrs in our steel tube ends — deburring and chamfering.

Deburring uses a steel brush to directly remove the metal chips/bits at the ends of the steel tubes/ pipes, while chamfering is using a conical head to make a bevel/groove on the ends. In this way, deburred tube ends are flat and smooth, while, chamfered ends are also smooth but brighter and cleaner in the surface.

Usually, chamfering is meant for better assemble. Precision parts and components applied to aerospace, automotive, and electronics industries could really prefer chamfering rather than deburring. Our chamfered stainless steel tubes are widely applied to automotive engine tubing such as fuel pipes, oil pipes, water pipes and exhaust pipes, etc.

Gofar would listen to customers’ expectations as well as their requirements in order to provide optimal and sustainable solutions for customers!
