چکیده
Abrasive flow machining (AFM) is an advance machining process which is used to machine complex shape and is used to deburr, remove recast layer and radius surfaces. This research uses a developed abrasive flow machine and an experiment employing abrasive flow machining was conducted on plunger body fabricated on stainless steel SS 446. In this research AFM parameters such as abrasive particle size, concentration, and number of cycles were optimized. In the optimization work surface roughness and edge radius are taken as output. L9 orthogonal array based upon Taguchi method has been preferred for experimental design and Grey Relational Analysis used for multiple response optimization. Deburring action of abrasive flow machining process on plunger body was also observed by means of photographic analysis
