Magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) is a fast, high efficiency and high-precision polishing method on the surface machining of metals. Furthermore, MAF also can be utilized to polish stainless tubes in industrial applications; however, are often non-magnetic material that makes it difficult for magnetic field line penetrate into tubes, thus reducing forces inner polishing. That why not easy finis...

The traditional manufacturing industry has been revolutionized with the introduction of additive which is based on layer-by-layer manufacturing. Due to these tool-free techniques, complex shape becomes much more convenient in comparison machining. However, comes its inherent process characteristics high surface roughness, turn effect fatigue strength as well residual stresses. Therefore, this p...

This paper describes an ultra precision polishing method of aspherical mirrors, and the fundamental research on polishing characteristics. The aspherical mirrors with a diameter of about 30mm made by fused silica glass and CVD-SiC were ELID (electrolytic in-process dressing)-ground to high form accuracy with #4000 cast iron bonded diamond wheel, and then polished with a small polishing tool. As...

Hardest 10. Diamond he selection of abrasive media for blast cleaning steel is based primarily on two broad objectives, quality and economics. Quality is defined in terms of appearance after cleaning (SSPC-SP 7, 6, 10, and 5 ) , profile depth and contour, and chemical cleanliness. The economics of an abrasive is determined by its initial cost and by the production rate that can be achieved when...

Issue: Processed recycled glass has been sold as an abrasive blasting medium under several brand names in different parts of the United States. However, limited public information is available regarding the performance of finely sized crushed glass in abrasive applications because manufacturers have developed their own proprietary data. Historically, the predominant material used for abrasive b...

Abrasive flow polishing plays an important part in modern ultra-precision machining. Ultrafine particles suspended in the medium of abrasive flow removes the material in nanoscale. In this paper, three-dimensional molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are performed to investigate the effect of impacting direction on abrasive cutting process during abrasive flow polishing. The molecular dynamics s...
