This paper proposed a viewpoint to explain why vibration assistance may increase material removal rate (MRR) in vibration-assisted magnetic abrasive finishing process. A series of experiments on vibration-assisted finishing have been carried out. On the basis of these experiments, the finishing characteristics are represented summarily. It was shown that the increase in material rate is mainly due to an increase in material removal per unit working distance.

This paper investigates the effect of horizontal vibration assistance on surface roughness in magnetic abrasive finishing, and the material removal mechanism associated. The experiments on vibration-assisted finishing have clearly indicated that the improvement of surface roughness is mainly attributed to the cross-cutting effect of abrasives.

Freeform surfaces, including the femoral components of knee prosthetics, present a significant challenge in manufacturing. The finishing process is often performed manually, which leads to surface finish variations. In the case of knee prosthetics, this can be a factor leading to accelerated wear of the polyethylene tibial component. The wear resistance of polyethylene components might be influenced by not only the roughness but also the lay of femoral component surfaces. This study applies magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) for nanometer-scale finishing of cobalt chromium alloys, which are commonly used in knee prosthetics and other freeform components. Using flat disks as workpieces, this paper shows the dominant parameters for controlling the lay in MAF and demonstrates the feasibility of MAF to alter the lay while controlling the surface roughness. The manually finished disk surfaces (with roughness around 3 nm Sa), consisting of random cutting marks, were compared to MAF-produced surfaces (also with roughness around 3 nm Sa) with different lays. Tests using deionized water droplets show that the lay influences the wetting properties even if the surface roughness changes by no more than a nanometer. Surfaces with unidirectional cutting marks exhibit the least wettability, and increasing the cross-hatch angle in the MAF-produced surfaces increases the wettability. Surfaces consisting of short, intermittent cutting marks were the most wettable by deionized water.

The magnetic abrasive finishing combined with electrolytic (EMAF) process was proposed to improve the finishing efficiency of the traditional magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) process. Since the EMAF process contains electrolysis reactions, the machining mechanism of processing different metal is different. In this paper, a series of experiments were conducted to explore the feasibility of using the compound processing tool to finish aluminum alloy A5052, and to preliminary explore the machining mechanism. Surface roughness and material removal are used to evaluate the finishing effect and the finishing efficiency, respectively. The EMAF processing current curve is used to evaluate and analyze the EMAF process. The feasibility of the EMAF processing is proved by the analysis of simulations and the experimental results. Finally, through a series of exploration experiments and parameter optimization experiments, the main conclusions are as follows: (1) Compared with the traditional MAF process, when finishing the surface of aluminum alloy A5052 by the same compound processing tool and at the same experimental conditions (except the electrolysis conditions), the EMAF process, which includes electrolysis reactions, can achieve higher finishing efficiency. (2) In this study, when the working gap is 1 mm and the concentration of NaNO3 solution is 15%, the recommended processing voltage is about 3.4 V.
