Clarification of magnetic abrasive finishing mechanism

Enhancing AFM process productivity through improved fixturing

“…A major disadvantage of increasing the extrusion pressure as compared to the centrifugal force is that in this, only very few abrasive particles (which are near to work surface) participate in abrading whilst the remaining particles pass through the workpiece without performing any cutting action. Further, the same abrasive particles would abrade the whole length of workpiece, with the possible result that cutting edges of those abrasive particles get worn out which further reduce the cutting action [29][30][31]. From Fig.…”

Fem Based Modeling of Cylindrical-Magnetic Abrasive Finishing (C-Maf) Process Using Unbounded Magnetic Abrasives

“…Due to rotary motion of the workpiece the cutting resistance, R T is acting in tangential direction tends to move the FP from its balanced position. The tangential force F T due to magnetic field, acts in opposite direction of cutting force R T , returns the FP to its original position [6]. It shows that FP will transmit abrasion pressure to abrasives beneath it and abrasives will perform a regular cutting on the work surface.…”

Parametric Study in Surface Finishing of Inconel 718 Surface with Magnetic Abrasive Finishing Process

“…Mori et al (2003) performs the experiment over a stainless steel work piece to investigate the type of forces acting in MAF process. Observations indicate that three types of energies that are repulsive forces, tangential forces and normal forces are necessary for magnetization of abrasives [5].…”

Observations indicate that three types of energies that are repulsive forces, tangential forces and normal forces are necessary for magnetization of abrasives [5]. Lin et al (2007) utilized MAF to perform free-form surface abrasion of stainless SUS304 stainless steel [6 magnetic flux density of non-ferrous materials (magnesium) on the opposite side of the work piece, to evaluate the results [7 process for the flat surface of (copper alloy) torque [8].…”
