Magnetic field–assisted finishing (MAF) is used to polish free-form surfaces. The material removal mechanism can be described as a flexible “magnetic brush” that consists of ferromagnetic particles and abrasives that arrange themselves in the working gap between the magnet and the workpiece. Relative motion between the brush and the workpiece causes microcutting and improves surface finish. In this study, the contributions of the magnetic and polishing force components to the total force were evaluated. The effect of varying the polishing conditions, such as the working gap and the size of the ferromagnetic iron particles, on polishing forces, surface roughness, and material removal rate was also analyzed. It was observed that the polishing forces varied considerably with working gap. Also, the iron particle size was found to have a strong relation to the rate at which the surface roughness improved. Surface roughness values of 2–3 nm were achieved.

An experimental study is reported to characterise the femtosecond (FS) laser grooving process for Germanium (Ge) substrates. The effects of process parameters, including laser fluence, pulse repetition rate and scan speed, on the groove characteristics, material removal rate (MRR) and heat affected zone (HAZ) size are discussed. It is shown that with properly selected process parameters, high quality micro-grooves can be obtained on Ge wafers. Recommendations are finally made on the selection of the most appropriate process parameters for FS micro-grooving of Ge substrates.

This article describes the development of a proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint prosthesis based on the principles of replicating anatomical surface components, the use of macrolocking intramedullary stem and the use of a cobalt-chrome alloy material. The design features are intended to obtain an optimal range of motion while retaining stability and longevity. The final prototype, for which a patent has been filed, is described.

The hydrolytic properties of LiAlO2 (LAO) are important factors for its applications on LED fabrication. During soft pad polishing process, the H2O in the slurry is deleterious for LAO surface polishing results. The current study develops a material removal rate model for materials with hydrolysis reaction to predict the result of polishing process.The current research conducts the experimental studies to investigate the material removal rate and its mechanism during the soft pad polishing process. In the experimental study, the hydrolytic properties of LAO have been tested to understand the hydrolysis speed with different operation parameters to assist the development of the theoretical model. Also the material removal rates of LAO with hydrolytic property have been measured under different soft pad polishing operating conditions. The experimental results provide the hydrolytic properties of LiAlO2 to understanding of the mechanism on polishing process.
