The high cost of ceramic components can be associated with complex and time-consuming postmachining, which is currently done by using abrasive machining processes. The IWF and Fraunhofer-IPK are undertaking research activities in the field of abrasive machining which aim at developing and optimizing technologies to expand the application field and to increase productivity of high-performance ma...

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.

Abrasive Flow Machining (AFM) is the method of finishing complex surfaces and internal channels with help extrusion pressure abrasive-laden viscoelastic polymer media. This paper based on developing a new AFM media using natural waste as base material. In article, viz. rice husk ash-based has been developed, subsequently, rheological analysis done, experimentation performed Anton-paar® rheomete...

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...
