In this article, the effect of parameters like working gap, work piece rotational speed and material removal mechanism(injection of the SiC Abrasive slurry and Al2O3, use of diamond paste as abrasive tool) in Magnetic Abrasive Finishing process using designing of experiments on the external surface of Cylindrical work pieces of Stainless steel AISI 440C to get minimum surf...

Polishing abrasives that have been bound in a solid matrix can offer several potential advantages over loose-abrasive processes with pitch or polyurethane laps for finishing of optics. These advantages include polishing efficiency, temperature stability, cost of consumables, and compatibility with computer numerically controlled generating machines. Unfortunately, little has been published on b...

Denomination Magnetism Aided Machining (MAM) comprises a number of relatively new industrial machining (firstly finishing and surface improving) processes being developed at the present time too. MAM is effective – among others – in polishing, deburring and burnishing of metal parts. The authors give a brief outline of these modern processes, and make an attempt to systematize them. The paper s...

AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of accelerated artificial aging (AAA) on color stability (AE) and surface roughness of composite submitted to different systems and periods of finishing/polishing. MATERIALS AND METHODS A Teflon matrix was used to fabricate 60 specimens that were separated into four groups, according to the finishing/polishing system: G1: no polishing; G...

--------------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT--------------------------------------------------------Precision surface finishes are used in a wide variety of applications. From bearing races and rolling elements to parallel slide ways, the topography of these surfaces is critical to the performance of the products. With the advent of diamond turning and other abrasive p...

Finishing of complex, miniaturized parts, especially of internal recesses is very difficult and time consuming process. Abrasive Flow Machining (AFM) is an appropriate finishing process for such finishing requirements. It uses abrasives laden polymeric putty with other ingredients to polish the surfaces. This medium is extruded backand-forth over the surface employing the hydraulic pressure sys...
