Abstract Magnetically assisted abrasive finishing (MAAF) presents an attractive concept of surface and edge finishing by fine magnetic abrasive particles (MAPs). This study aims to contribute an experimental evaluation of the effect of process parameters viz. magnetic field density (MFD), circumferential speed of workpiece, and abrasive grit size on the surface finishing properties in MAAF when experiments were performed for finishing pipes of ASTM B16 brass material with the sintered MAPs. The developed model is based on the obtained experimental data accompanied by “Box- Behnken design (BBD) of response surface methodology (RSM)” analysis. Apart from deciding significant parameters, this analysis also presents the modeling of finishing properties and optimizes the desired performance parameters. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) includes data of standard deviation, coefficient of determination (R2), adjusted, and predicted (R2). MFD and speed show a significant effect on both the responses viz. “surface roughness improvement rate (SRIR) and material removal rate (MRR)”. Analysis has shown that abrasive grit size is the most dominant parameter towards SRIR followed by MFD. The maximum SRIR of 88.12% (minimum Ra 50 nm) and 4.28 mg/min is achieved through multi-objective optimization with 0.8 T MFD, 500 rpm speed, and 300 µm grit size. The mathematical models of SRIR and MRR were also developed using RSM, focusing on varying MFD, speed, and grit size which can be used to predict the desired surface finishing properties. The model generated for SRIR, and MRR has an error of 0.204 % and 2.506 % respectively. Further SEM images were taken to understand the surface appearance of the finished surface.

A very precise surface finish is desirable in manufacturing semiconductors, medical equipment, and aerospace parts. The examinations on magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) processes are being done for the modern industry. This newly developed process is serving the industry to achieve the desired level of precision and surface finish. This research represents the MAF of aluminum pipes using adhesive magnetic abrasive particles. The different process parameters were optimized using the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) method to gain an in-depth analysis of surface roughness in terms of roughness improvement rate (RIR), and material removal rate (MRR). The achieved maximum RIR and MRR was 81.49% and 2.74mg/min, respectively. The finished workpieces were microscopically investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to further study the mechanism of MAF process.

The Magnetic Field

This research studies the factors affecting the conditions required for successful uniform internal finishing of SUS304 stainless steel bent tube by a Magnetic abrasive finishing process. In particular, the effects of the magnetic field and ferrous particles were investigated. Local intensification of the magnetic field is accomplished by offsetting the axis of pole rotation from elbow axis. This effect enables local control of the material removal rate, which leads to uniformity in the finished surface regardless of the initial surface conditions. A two-phase finishing process controlling the size of the ferrous particles is proposed to achieve efficient fine surface finishing.

Liquid desiccant dehumidifiers (LDDs) can be improved by adding internal cooling. However, the addition of excessive cooling power may deteriorate the system‘s cost-efficiency, whereas the addition of insufficient cooling power leads to negligible performance improvements. The objective of this study is to determine the suitable cost-efficient cooling power range for improving the performance of internally cooled LDDs (IC-LDDs). A novel method and a set of criteria related to the moisture removal rate, cooling-power efficiency ( ηc) and coefficient of dehumidification performance from cooling power ( DCOPcooling) were proposed to determine cost-efficient cooling power. The internally cooled ultrasonic atomization liquid desiccant system (IC-UADS), together with a well-validated model based on the conservation laws of mass and energy and the sensible heat balance, was adopted to demonstrate the analysis. The results showed that, although the dehumidification performance improves with increasing cooling power, the improvement rate decreases, while ηcand DCOPcoolingdecline quickly (by 87.9%). For cost-efficient improvement, the necessary power proportion of internal cooling to the system‘s target dehumidification capacity tends to be stable, which was about 29% for the IC-UADS, and independent of the operating conditions. The results may help to determine the reasonable cooling power range for cost-efficient improvement of IC-LDDs.

Swirling Fluidized Bed Polishing (SFBP) is a non–traditional alternative abrasive flow surface finishing form of Fluidized Bed Machining (FBM) in which the former has special features to overcome certain significant limitations of the latter, namely the variation of the surface roughness vertically along the component surface and the screening effect owing to the complex contours in the work piece geometry. Owing to its ability to perform machining and generate polished surface from a roughness value of Ra 1.2μ to 0.2 μ within 8 hours of processing, this new method offers greater scope in the surface modification of rough machined surfaces with complex geometry such as component with ducts and grooves. This research focus on investigating the effect of abrasive particle concentration on metal removal rate per unit area of the specimen surface. 3D surface morphology analysis investigates the quality of the polished surface and the study of circumferential uniformity and machining accuracy analysis on a complex-contoured component further investigate its scope and relevance in industrial applications.

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.

In the field of scintillators, high scintillation and light production performance require high-quality crystals. Although the composition and structure of crystals are fundamental in this direction, their ultimate optical performance is strongly dependent on the surface finishing treatment. This paper compares two surface finishing methods in terms of the final structural condition of the surface and the relative light yield performances. The first polishing method is the conventional “Mechanical Diamond Polishing” (MDP) technique. The second polishing technique is a method applied in the electronics industry which is envisaged for finishing the surface treatment of scintillator crystals. This method, named “Chemical Mechanical Polishing” (CMP), is efficient in terms of the cost and material removal rate and is expected to produce low perturbed surface layers, with a possible improvement of the internal reflectivity and, in turn, the light collection efficiency. The two methods have been applied to a lead tungstate PbWO4 (PWO) single crystal due to the wide diffusion of this material in high energy physics (CERN, PANDA project) and diagnostic medical applications. The light yield (LY) values of both the MDP and CMP treated crystals were measured by using the facilities at CERN while their surface structure was investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Grazing Incidence X-ray Diffraction (GID). We present here the corresponding optical results and their relationship with the processing conditions and subsurface structure.

Abstract Nickel-based superalloys have a wide range of high-temperature applications such as turbine blades. The complex geometries of these applications and the specific properties of the materials raise difficulties in the surface finishing. Magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) has proven effective in finishing the complex geometries. In MAF, the magnetic properties of the workpiece, tool, and abrasive play important roles in controlling finishing characteristics. This paper presents the effects of nickel coating on the abrasive behavior during finishing and resulting finishing characteristics of Ni-based superalloys. The Ni-coated diamond abrasive is more attracted to the magnet than the Ni-based superalloy surface. As a result, fewer Ni-coated diamond abrasive particles, which are stuck between the magnetic-particle brush and the target surface, participate in surface finishing. Because of this, coupled with the reduced sharpness of abrasive cutting edges due to the coating, Ni-coated diamond abrasive cannot effectively smooth the target surface in MAF. However, the Ni coating is worn off during finishing of the hard, rough, additively manufactured surface. Then, the diamond abrasive participates in finishing as uncoated diamond abrasive and facilitates the material removal, finishing the target surface.

The Difference

The magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) process is an ultra-precision surface finishing process. In order to further improve the finishing efficiency and surface quality, the MAF process using an alternating magnetic field was proposed in the previous research, and it was proven that the alternating magnetic field has advantages compared with the static magnetic field. In order to further develop the process, this study investigated the effect on finishing characteristics when the alternating current waveform is a square wave. The difference between the fluctuation behavior of the magnetic cluster in two alternating magnetic fields (sine wave and square wave) is observed and analyzed. Through analysis, it can be concluded that the use of a square wave can make the magnetic cluster fluctuate faster, and as the size of the magnetic particles decreases, the difference between the magnetic cluster fluctuation speed of the two waveforms is greater. The experimental results show that the surface roughness of SUS304 stainless steel plate improves from 328 nm Ra to 14 nm Ra within 40 min.
