This study introduced a method based on magnetic field assisted finishing mechanism for micromachining the inner surfaces of Aluminum tubes. In this approach, using the alternating magnetic field of an AC electromotor, abrasive particles were formed as Magnetic Rods (Magnetic Clusters) and surface micromachining was carried out by the dynamic particular pattern made by an alternating magnetic f...

Surface finishing is one of the most significant steps in industries which are engaged with surface quality. Finishing by magnetic field is a new method of surface finishing. In this process, machining is executed in mechanical way and semi-homogeneous abrasive slurry performs finishing of surfaces. Needed force to grind surfaces is made by magnetic field. Therefor this method is considered as ...
