Knurling is a machining process that involves pressing a regular pattern of ridges or grooves into the surface of a workpiece to increase its friction. This is commonly used on tools, handles, and other parts that require a firm grip. In addition to enhancing the anti-slip properties of objects, knurling also provides an aesthetic effect. Depending on the pattern, knurling can be classified into two main types: straight knurling and diamond knurling.
1. (Straight Knurling)
Straight knurling is a type of knurling that presses parallel straight lines onto the surface of a workpiece. This pattern is commonly used on parts that require linear grip, such as tool handles and knobs. The pattern of straight knurling is simple yet effective, significantly increasing the friction of the workpiece.
2. (Diamond Knurling)
Diamond knurling presses a cross-hatch pattern of diamonds or networks onto the surface of a workpiece, providing greater friction and better grip. It is commonly used on parts that require high friction, such as metal knobs and bicycle handles. The complex pattern of diamond knurling provides uniform grip in all directions.
