Effect of abrasive particle morphology along with other influencing parameters in magnetic abrasive finishing process

Surface characteristics play a very important role in medical implants and among surface features, roughness is effective some applications. Among the various methods used to improve roughness, magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) process has been widely engineering. In this study, effect of particle morphology along with four other parameters, including type work metal, time, speed operation, powder were experimentally evaluated. Full factorial technique was for design experiment. Three commonly metals orthopedic i.e., Ti-6Al-4V alloy, AZ31 alloy austenitic stainless-steel 316LVM, selected study. Also, two types particles different shapes (spherical rod-shaped) considered experiments. The results experiments indicated that time had greatest on using rod-shaped resulted better quality comparing spherical particles. Besides, steel 316LVM after MAF best examined metals. Interaction plots ANOVA also showed interactions material particles, machining found be reasonably significant.
