investigation of magnetic abrasive finishing on inner surface of al 6061 tube

in magnetic abrasive finishing (maf), abrasive grains as a tool move on surface and can removechip from surface of work piece. in this study al 6061 tube was considered as the work piece andthe effect of finishing parameters such as gap distance between tube and poles, rotational speed oftube, abrasive ration and finishing time on surface roughness was investigated. the mixture offerromagnetic grits (fe) and al2o3 grains was considered as the abrasives. the result showedincreasing in rotational speed, finishing time and abrasive grains up to certain value decreasessurface roughness and increasing in air gap increases surface roughness.
