What Is the REM ISF Process?

REM’s ISF Process is an isotropic superfinishing technology that is proven to significantly increase the efficiency, performance, and life of metal to metal contact power transfer components for a range of Automotive component applications. The ISF Process is a suite of chemically accelerated surface finishing and polishing technologies that generate low Ra surfaces with non-directional/isotropic surface textures.

In plain terms: the process leaves gear tooth surfaces smoother, with no directional machining lines.
