Magnetic abrasive finishing can be classified as a non-traditional super finishing method for finishing surfaces with different shapes and working materials like flat plates, shafts, bearings parts, screws, tubes and many other mechanical parts that need good surface finishing properties. MAF is effective in polishing, cleaning, deburring and burnishing metal parts. The most important parameter...

Ionic liquids are molten salts that have low melting points. This review concentrates upon eutectic mixtures of quaternary ammonium salts and metal salts (usually halides). These so-called eutectic based ionic liquids can be used for the electrodeposition and dissolution of a wide range of metals and alloys. The review highlights the technological challenges involved in the application of ionic...

There is growing environmental concern with the methods of waste disposal used for handling hazardous materials in the metal finishing industry. A resulting need exists to develop and implement the best existing and potential technologies for waste minimization and resource recovery. The objectives of this study were to identify and briefly describe both existing and potential future methods fo...

The metal fmishing industry uses over 40 production processes to produce a wide range of metal products. Waste streams generated include wastewater, waste oils, spent solvents, and spent process solutions. Current1,v a wide variety of techniques which minimize waste are available. Cost-effective methods to reduce electroplating wastewater contamination include water conserv&ion and drag-out red...

An Adsorbent based treatment system is presented for toxic metal removal from rinsewater streams. The adsorbent is a Mg-A1 oxide anion exchange material with high capacity (approaching 5.5 meq/g) and strong selectivity for difficult to treat species such as Electroless plating metal chelates, Fixed Cyanides and chrome conversion solutions. Data is presented describing treatment of various metal...

Title of Document: EFFECTS OF SOLDER-DIPPING AS A TERMINATION RE-FINISHING TECHNIQUE Shirsho Sengupta, M.S., Mechanical Engineering, June 2006 Directed By: Prof. Michael G. Pecht, Chair Professor, Mechanical Engineering Solder-dipping may be used to replace tin-rich finishes with eutectic tin-lead for tinwhiskering risk mitigation purposes. However, re-finishing also subjects electronic parts t...

274 Optimization of process parameter for surface finishing in abrasive flow finishing process Ravi Gupta (M.E) Asst. Prof.(Lovely Professional University) [email protected] , Abstract-Abrasive flow finishing is a non-conventional finishing process that is used for finishing of work piece which are difficult to finish by conventional method i.e. by honing, lapping and other machining operati...
