In this paper, a new non-contact ultrasonic abrasive finishing mechanism is designed and fabricated. This mechanism combines the function of ultrasonic vibrations and the magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) process. A permanent magnet which is mounted on a horn has been used as the processing tool. This polishing tool is vibrated at an ultrasonic frequency with piezo-electric actuators. Ultrasoni...

The already initiated studies are based on size and forms of abrasive grains, but few studies have addressed the influence on the concentration of abrasive grains. This research has been done to remove some of the mysteries associated in the media "abrasives" or "chips" used in vibratory and barrel finishing, this process included within the functions and characte...
