According to the sharp rheological characteristics of magnetorheological fluid in the magnetic field, the principle and mechanism of magnetorheological finishing is analyzed. Based on the Preston equation, the Reynolds equation and its boundary conditions, the two-dimensional material removal model is built and simulated. Furthermore, a series of MRF experiments are carried out, and the influence of the immersed depth and material kinds on material removal rate are clarified respectively. The experimental results are compared with the modeling results of material removal rate to confirm the mechanistic model validity.

While magnetorheological fluids can be used for ultra-precise polishing, for example, of advanced optical components, oxidation of metallic particles in water-based magnetorheological fluids causes irregular polishing behavior. In this study, carbonyl iron microspheres were initially coated with silica to prevent oxidation and were used to polish BK7 glass. In addition, their rheological and sedimentation characterizations were investigated. Material removal and surface roughness were analyzed to investigate the surface quality and optimal experimental conditions of polishing wheel speed and magnetic field intensity. The maximum material removal was 0.95 µm at 95.52 kA/m magnetic field intensity and 1854 mm/s wheel speed. A very fine surface roughness of 0.87 nm was achieved using the silica-coated magnetorheological fluid at 47.76 kA/m magnetic field intensity and 1854 mm/s wheel speed.

Magnetic characteristics of three magnetic polishing fluids such as magnetic fluid (MF), magnetorheological fluid (MRF), and magnetic compound fluid (MCF) under magnetic field are experimentally investigated and analyzed. Their magnetic cluster structures under action of magnet field are observed, and their magnetic cluster models are established. Magnetic flied assisted polishing experiments for tungsten carbide are developed used these three kinds of magnetic fluids, material removal and surface roughness are respectively measured. At last, the machining characteristic of three magnetic fluids are contrasted and discussed according to experimental results.

Magnetorheological flexible gasbag polishing based on the special application of magnetorheological fluid (MRF) in robotic gasbag polishing technique is a novel efficient approach in the field of mould finishing. It can control the polishing pressure by changing the magnetic force generated by MRF inside of the gasbag with the effect of variable magnetic field of electromagnetic coil. Its mathematical model is established to study the main factors influencing the material removal. The orthogonal tests are applied to analyze these important parameters. From the experimental results, it can be seen that this new approach is desirable in realizing the control of surface figure accuracy and improvement of surface quality under certain condition.

This paper presents a novel penalized multi-response Taguchi method that is used to determine the optimal conditions and parameters for a wheel-type magnetorheological (MR) finishing process that uses sintered iron-carbon nanotube (I-CNT) abrasives. The main goal of this study is to achieve the best compromise, within given boundary constraint conditions, between the maximum material removal rate and the minimum surface roughness. The proposed Taguchi method includes two main parameters, namely the weighting loss factor and the severity factor, that account, respectively, for the response weights and the constraint conditions and that control the optimality direction. The method is applied to the finishing of hard-disk slider surfaces made of Al2O3-TiC, and the effects of the weighting loss and severity factors, along with their significance and relative importance in optimizing the finishing process, are thoroughly examined.

Magnetorheological finishing (MRF) is an advanced machining technology can achieve high efficiency and smoother surfaces. This study discusses the material removal mechanism of MRF, and proposes a kind of magnetorheological fluid with the nano-diamond abrasives. A series of experiments on the BK7 optical glass were conducted to investigate effects of the concentration of nano-diamond abrasives on surface quality and removal efficiency.

The force-position decoupling technology based on Magnetorheological Fluid Torque Servo (MRT) can effectively solve the force-position coupling problem existed commonly in polishing processes. In the new polishing system, polishing force is not generated directly by the displacement of polishing tool, but provided by the MRT. Polishing path planning is another key point of the force-position decoupling technology. In this paper, a polishing path planning method was proposed, and the effect of polishing tool path on polishing parameters was analyzed. The law obtained will guide the uniform material removal of aspheric surfaces.
