A process using intense heat energy to remove small, often inaccessible burrs, originating as a result of machining. Parts are placed inside a sealed cylindrical chamber which is pressurised with a mixture of combustible gases including pure oxygen.
The gaseous mixture completely encloses the parts, reaching into even the most confined areas. When the mixture is ignited, a powerful combustion takes place generating intense heat which oxidises the burrs. Only the burrs are removed because the heat attacks areas with large surface area and very little mass.
