Titanium is often used in various important applications in transportation and the healthcare industry. The goal of this study was to determine the optimum processing of magnetic abrasives in beta-titanium wire, which is often used in frames for eyeglasses because of its excellent elasticity among titanium alloys. To check the performance of the magnetic abrasive finishing process, the surface roughness (Ra) was measured when the specimen was machined at various rotational speeds (700, 1500, and 2000 rpm) in the presence of diamond paste of various particle sizes (0.5, 1, and 3 μm). We concluded that the surface roughness (Ra) was the best at 2000 rpm, 1 μm particle size, and 300 s processing time, and the surface roughness of β-titanium improved from 0.32 to 0.05 μm. In addition, the optimal conditions were used to test the influence of the finishing gap, and it was found that the processing power was superior at a gap of 3 mm than at 5 mm when processing was conducted for 300 s.

Intermittent Cutting

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.

Magnetic Abrasives

The finishing characteristics of mechanically alloyed magnetic abrasives used in cylindrical magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) are presented in this study. Mechanical alloying is a solid state powder processing technique, where the powder particles are subjected to impact by the balls in a high energy ball mill or attritor at room temperature. After the process, fine magnetic abrasives are obtained in which the abrasive particles are attached to the base metal matrix without any bonding material. The magnetic particle used in the magnetic abrasive production is iron powder and the abrasive is aluminium oxide. Magnetic abrasives play the role of cutting tools in MAF, which is emerging as an important non-conventional machining process. The experiments performed on stainless steel tubes examine the effects of varying the quantity of magnetic abrasives, magnetic flux density, speed of rotation of the workpiece and amount of lubricant. The surface roughness measurements demonstrate the effects of the abrasive behaviour on the surface modification. The surface roughness was analysed in terms of percentage improvement in surface finish (PISF). The obtained maximum PISF was 40 % and the minimum surface roughness was 0.63 μm Ra.

Abrasive Finishing

In this paper, we propose a new ultra-high-precision magnetic abrasive finishing method for wire material which is considered to be difficult with the existing finishing process. The processing method uses a rotating magnetic field system with unbonded magnetic abrasive type. It is believed that this process can efficiently perform the ultra-high-precision finishing for producing a smooth surface finish and removing a diameter of wire material. For such a processing improvement, the following parameters are considered; rotational speed of rotating magnetic field, vibration frequency of wire material, and unbonded magnetic abrasive grain size. In order to evaluate the performance of the new finishing process for the wire material, the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) 1085 steel wire was used as the wire workpiece. The experimental results showed that the original surface roughness of AISI 1085 steel wire was enhanced from 0.25 µm to 0.02 µm for 60 s at 800 rpm of rotational speed. Also, the performance of the removed diameter was excellent. As the result, a new ultra-high-precision magnetic abrasive finishing using a rotating magnetic field with unbonded magnetic abrasive type could be successfully adopted for improving the surface roughness and removing the diameter of AISI 1085 steel wire material.

Based on the mechanism of magnetic abrasive finishing, the 7075 aluminum alloy (Al7075) was used in the experimental study. In order to improve wall surface quality and to remove the edge burrs of the hole, a novel magnetic abrasive finishing process was proposed. First, the radial magnetizing pole for the inner surface finishing process was confirmed. The evaluation of magnet spinning speed, abrasive mesh, and abrasive filling amount on the diameter deviation of the hole and surface roughness of the inner wall was studied. According to the characteristics of magnetic abrasive finishing process, Taguchi’s method was used to carry out the test. Through the analysis of variance, the best process parameters were determined and verified. The inner surface roughness was further decreased and the surface morphology was more uniform after finishing process. Second, the edge burr removal process of the hole exit was also studied, and the geometry of the burrs was measured before and after the magnetic abrasive finishing process. The results show that the burrs were significantly removed and the burr removal efficiency was improved by 33.3% compared with the conventional magnetic abrasive finishing process. Finally, the improved magnetic abrasive finishing process is an effective method in improving finishing quality of the Al7075 holes.

Abrasive Finishing

The final machining (or finishing) of precision parts with high accuracy level is making the application of abrasive finishing technologies increasingly important. Magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) is a new advanced finishing process used for fine finishing of extremely hard materials. It is employed for finishing of metals and non-metals. This paper focuses on the modeling and simulation for the prediction of surface roughness in plane magnetic abrasive finishing. A finite element based model is developed to find the magnetic potential distribution in gap between tool and workpiece. Further, magnetic potential is used to evaluate machining pressure, material removal and finally surface roughness of the workpiece surface. The simulation results are confirmed compared with the experimental results available in the literature. The simulated workpiece surface roughness shows features which are similar in nature to the experimental results.
