Study of corrective abrasive finishing for plane surfaces using magnetic abrasive finishing processes

AbstractRecent developments in the engineering industry have created a demand for advanced materials with superior mechanical properties and high-quality surface finishes. Some of the conventional finishing methods such as lapping, grinding, honing, and polishing are now being replaced by non-conventional finishing processes. Magnetic Abrasive Finishing (MAF) is a non-conventional superfinishing process in which magnetic abrasive particles interact with a magnetic field in the finishing zone to remove materials to achieve very high surface finishing and deburring simultaneously. In this review paper, the working principles, processing parameters, and current limitations for the MAF process are examined via reviewing important work in the literature. Additionally, future developments of the MAF process are discussed.

Magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) is one of the finishing processes which produces nano finished surfaces. The material removal process is in the form of microchips. The present paper introduces a novel work based on the principle of MAF for flat surfaces. The experiments were conducted on titanium material to investigate the response of MAF on hardness. Matlab has been used to evaluate the performance. The results obtained from the experimental investigations revealed that the hardness improves with MAF. The surface morphology of finished surface was studied with the help of SEM images

Finishing Processes

In the nanotechnology era, the need for products with high quality and surfaces with free-from damage has become an urgent necessity. Many components in the precision industries such as electronics, automobile, medical, and aviation require high surface finish to meet their functional requirements, such as, reducing fluid flow resistance, friction, optical losses and increase fatigue strength. However, the scale of such surface quality cannot be achieved by traditional finishing methods. To overcome these limitations, many advanced finishing processes have been developed such as abrasive flow finishing, magnetorheological fluid finishing, magnetic float polishing, and chemical mechanical polishing and magnetic abrasive finishing. Magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) is one of advanced finishing processes which offers superior surface finish over conventional finishing processes, because of its self-adaptability to finish of different geometric shapes, its a gentle tool which does not impact workpiece surface, its capability to polish advanced engineering materials and its low cost. This article has been focused on MAF, as well as reviewing of advanced finishing processes. The recent researches and challenges of MAF have been discussed as well.

In this paper the Magnetic Abrasive Finishing (MAF) was utilized after Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) process as a combined finishing process. Firstly, the Single Point Incremental forming was form the truncated cone made from low carbon steel (1008-AISI) based on Z-level tool path then the magnetic abrasive finishing process was applied on the surface of the formed product. Box-Behnken design of experiment in Minitab 17 software was used in this study. The influences of different parameters (feed rate, machining step size, coil current and spindle speed) on change in Micro-Vickers hardness were studied. The maximum and minimum change in Micro-Vickers hardness that achieved from all the experiments were (40.4 and 1.1) respectively. The contribution percent of (feed rate, machining step size, coil current and spindle speed) were (7.1, 18.068, 17.376 and 37.894) % respectively. After MAF process all the micro surface cracks that generated on the workpiece surface was completely removed from the surface.

High quality, highly efficient finishing processes are required for finishing difficult-to-machine materials. Magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) process is a finishing method that can obtain a high accuracy surface using fine magnetic particles and abrasive particles, but has poor finishing efficiency. On the contrary, fixed abrasive polishing (FAP) is a polishing process can obtain high material removal efficiency but often cannot provide a high-quality surface at the nano-scale. Therefore, this work proposes a new finishing process, which combines the magnetic abrasive finishing process and the fixed abrasive polishing process (MAF-FAP). To verify the proposed methodology, a finishing device was developed and finishing experiments on alumina ceramic plates were performed. Furthermore, the mechanism of the MAF-FAP process was investigated. In addition, the influence of process parameters on finishing characteristics is discussed. According to the experimental results, this process can achieve high-efficiency finishing of brittle hard materials (alumina ceramics) and can obtain nano-scale surfaces. The surface roughness of the alumina ceramic plate is improved from 202.11 nm Ra to 3.67 nm Ra within 30 min.
