Due to the fact that abrasive media can deform flexibly in abrasive flow machining (AFM) making this method easily to polish the complex holes and the curved surface of the hard machining shapes. Although abrasive media dominate the polishing behavior in AFM process, the mechanism of the abrasive media are not easy to understand because of the high viscous gels, therefore, many finishing works ...

Abrasive machining is one of the most non-conventional processes for finishing. It is widely used in industry to machine the materials like mild steel, aluminum, copper, titanium, glass, hard rock material, graphite, composite material, ceramics etc.Like in abrasive jet machining. This technique uses jet which contains abrasive material. Now a day water-magnetic abrasive machining is one of the...

This work deals with the optimization of crucial process parameters related to abrasive flow machining applications at micro/nano-levels. The optimal combination for nano-finishing has been determined by applying a modified virus-evolutionary genetic algorithm. algorithm implements two populations: One comprising hosts and one viruses. Viruses act as information carriers thus they contribute bo...

Magnetic Abrasive Polishing (MAP) is a super-finishing process primarily used for polishing of nonmagnetic and hard materials like, ceramics and stainless steel. This paper deals with the detailed parametric study in polishing of stainless steel work surface. Statistically designed experiments based on Taguchi methods show that size-ratio, tool-work surface clearance, polishing speed, magnetic ...

Finishing is a basic requirement for obtaining the required surface quality in production of various components used many industries. A relatively new finishing process, called magnetic abrasive finishing, complex shaped surfaces. This article presents latest developments polishing and describes results obtained by research scientists based on their experiments field polishing.

High quality, highly efficient finishing processes are required for difficult-to-machine materials. Magnetic abrasive (MAF) process is a method that can obtain high accuracy surface using fine magnetic particles and particles, but has poor efficiency. On the contrary, fixed polishing (FAP) material removal efficiency often cannot provide high-quality at nano-scale. Therefore, this work proposes...

Stamped steel body structures set a benchmark for construction and aesthetics that any alternative including carbon fiber body structures must meet. The challenge to carbon fiber body structure manufacturers is to achieve the traditional body structure standards while maintaining the most competitive possible per part manufacturing costs. Fortunately for these manufacturers there is a great dea...

In this article, the effect of parameters like working gap, work piece rotational speed and material removal mechanism(injection of the SiC Abrasive slurry and Al2O3, use of diamond paste as abrasive tool) in Magnetic Abrasive Finishing process using designing of experiments on the external surface of Cylindrical work pieces of Stainless steel AISI 440C to get minimum surf...
