The continuous advancement of Hermes specifications has led to a new generation of ceramic honing rings. A higher porosity supporting a better chip removal interacts with a high-performance grain, which leads to longer tool life. Thus, a significant tool reduction is the result.

The internal teeth honing ring of modified aluminum oxide and microcrystalline oxide achieves significant improvements regarding stock removal, tooth quality and process time. That means the gear honing process has been developed as a suitable alternative to continuous gear grinding.
