Limited efforts have been done towards enhancing the productivity of Abrasive Flow Machining (AFM) process with regard to better quality of work piece surface. In recent years, hybrid-machining processes have been developed to improve the efficiency of a process by clubbing the advantages of different machining processes and avoiding limitations. In the present study, the abrasive flow machinin...

In order to expand the possibilities of designing technological processes for finishing shut-off valve parts, in some cases it is advisable use varying various influences a single combined method with imposition an electromagnetic field. A reasonable combination physical allows us provide necessary design parameters, sufficient productivity and increase resource finished products.

Multiple colors visible to the naked eye across internal surfaces of stainless-steel 304 tubes polished with a magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) process were investigated at varying levels magnification. The found result from microscopic colored features four different hues — green, blue, red, and yellow having irregular sizes shapes. Spectral analysis their dispersion indicates that these appe...

The high cost of ceramic components can be associated with complex and time-consuming postmachining, which is currently done by using abrasive machining processes. The IWF and Fraunhofer-IPK are undertaking research activities in the field of abrasive machining which aim at developing and optimizing technologies to expand the application field and to increase productivity of high-performance ma...
