Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for smoothing a surface of a component, in which a component is placed in a liquid-solids mixture; a relative movement is produced between the liquid-solids mixture and the component; thus there is a flow of the liquid-solids mixture along the surface; wherein there is provided in the liquid-solids mixture a guide surface, along which the liquid-solids mixture flows, wherein a directional component toward the surface is imposed on the flow.
Claims12
A method for smoothing a surface of a component, comprising the steps of:
- placing the component in a liquid-solids mixture;
- producing a relative movement between the liquid-solids mixture and the component;
- providing a flow of the liquid-solids mixture along the surface;
- wherein there is provided in the liquid-solids mixture a guide surface, along which the liquid-solids mixture flows, wherein a directional component toward the surface is imposed on the flow;
- wherein the surface of the component comprises a suction-side surface and a pressure-side surface, wherein the guide surface is assigned to both the suction-side surface and the pressure-side surface in the liquid-solids mixture.
