AN EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF MAGNETIC ABRASIVES FINISHING OF PLANE SURFACES

Magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) uses magnetic force of very low magnitude applied on ferromagnetic abrasive particles to obtain very high level surface finish. The process has been investigated extensively in the finishing of cylindrical surfaces. This paper reports an experimental work on the analysis of surface roughness and material removal using response surface method in the MAF of plane surfaces. The surface finish was found to improve significantly with an increase in the grain size, relative size of abrasive particles vis-à-vis the iron particles, feed rate and current. The optimum parameter levels which gave better surface finish and the higher material removal were also obtained from this experimentation.

Modeling and simulation of magnetic abrasive finishing process

Magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) is one of the advanced finishing processes, which produces a high level of surface quality and is primarily controlled by a magnetic field. In MAF, the workpiece is kept between the two poles of a magnet. The working gap between the workpiece and the magnet is filled with magnetic abrasive particles. A magnetic abrasive flexible brush (MAFB) is formed, acting as a multipoint cutting tool, due to the effect of the magnetic field in the working gap. This paper deals with the theoretical investigations of the MAF process. A finite element model of the process is developed to evaluate the distribution of magnetic forces on the workpiece surface. The MAF process removes a very small amount of material by indentation and rotation of magnetic abrasive particles in the circular tracks. A theoretical model for material removal and surface roughness is also proposed accounting for microcutting by considering a uniform surface profile without statistical distribution. Numerical experiments are carried out by providing different routes of intermittent motion to the tool. The simulation results are verified by comparing them with the experimental results available in the literature.

Experimental investigations into forces acting during a magnetic abrasive finishing process

A magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) process is the one in which material is removed in such a way that surface finishing and deburring are performed simultaneously with the applied magnetic field in the finishing zone. Knowledge of forces acting during MAF is important to understand the mechanism of material removal. Forces have direct influence on the generation of a finished surface and accuracy of the workpiece. This paper reports the experimental findings about the forces acting during MAF and provides correlation between the surface finish and the forces. The resistance type force transducer (ring dynamometer) has been designed and fabricated. It is used to measure the normal magnetic force component responsible for microindentation into the workpiece and tangential cutting force component producing microchips. The force data have been recorded on-line by making use of virtual instruments (using Lab-View software). It is concluded that forces and change in surface roughness (ΔRa) increase with increase in current to the electromagnet (or magnetic flux density) and decrease in the working gap.On deputation from M.M.M.Engg.

Modelling and analysis of hybrid electrochemical turning-magnetic abrasive finishing of 6061 Al/Al2O3 composite

This paper integrates the electrochemical turning (ECT) process and magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) to produce a combined process that improves the material removal rate (MRR) and reduces surface roughness (SR). The present study emphasizes the features of the development of comprehensive mathematical models based on response surface methodology (RSM) for correlating the interactive and higher-order influences of major machining parameters, i.e. magnetic flux density, applied voltage, tool feed rate and workpiece rotational speed on MRR and SR of 6061 Al/Al₂O₃ (10% wt) composite. The paper also highlights the various test results that also confirm the validity and correctness of the established mathematical models for in-depth analysis of the effects of hybrid ECT- MAF process parameters on metal removal rate and surface roughness. Further, optimal combination of these parameters has been evaluated and it can be used in order to maximize MRR and minimize SR. The results demonstrate that assisting ECT with MAF leads to an increase machining efficiency and resultant surface quality significantly, as compared to that achieved with the traditional ECT of some 147.6% and 33%, respectively.     

Effect of working gap and circumferential speed on the performance of magnetic abrasive finishing process

Magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) is one of the advanced finishing processes in which workpiece is kept between two magnets, and cutting force is controlled by working gap and magnetic field between the two magnets. MAF setup is designed for finishing cylindrical workpieces and it is mounted on lathe machine. The loosely bounded powder is prepared for experimentation by homogeneous mixing of magnetic powder (Fe powder of 300 mesh size (51.4 μm)), abrasive powder (Al₂O₃ of 600 mesh size (25.7 μm), and lubricant called servospin-12 oil. To investigate the effects of working gap and circumferential speed on material removal, change in surface finish and percent improvement in surface finish, a series of experiments have been conducted using in-house fabricated setup. Based upon the results, in general, material removal decreases by increasing working gap or decreasing circumferential speed of the workpiece. Change in surface finish increases by increasing circumferential speed of the workpiece.     

Multiagent-based scheduling optimization for Intelligent Manufacturing System

The magnetic pole is an important finishing tool in magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF). This study used finite element method to analyze magnetic field characteristics for three different magnetic poles such as solid cylindrical pole, hollow cylindrical pole, and hollow cylindrical pole with grooves design. The results showed that the hollow cylindrical with grooves can generate the better surface roughness in MAF. The operations were demonstrated using a permanent magnetic polishing mechanism installed at a CNC machining center. The operations were performed using Taguchi experimental design, considering the effects of magnetic field, pole rotational speed, feed rate, working gap, abrasive, and lubrication. The optimal parameter conditions was obtained after experimental data analysis, the quality surface roughness (R _max = 0.1 mm) which is similar to a mirror surface was obtained after confirmatory tests. The optimal parameter conditions for material removal weight were also obtained in MAF. The results showed that MAF technique can meet customer requirement and raise the value-added products simultaneously.     

ON THE PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF FLEXIBLE MAGNETIC ABRASIVE BRUSH

ABSTRACT

Magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) of alloy steel workpiece with unbounded magnetic abrasive particles (UMAPs) indicates that the surface finish in the range of nanometer can be achieved. Important controllable four process parameters have been identified which are as current to the electromagnet, machining gap, abrasive size (mesh number), and number of cycles. Experiments have been planned using design of experiments technique. Based upon the results of response surface methodology and analysis of variance (ANOVA), it is concluded that magnetic flux density that depends on current to the electromagnet and machining gap, is most influencing parameter followed by grain size and number of cycles. The surface roughness profile generated during the MAF process has been discussed. To understand the cutting mechanism of magnetic abrasive finishing process, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) of the machined surfaces have been carried out. The correlation between surface finish and material removal has also been established.     

Improving the surface quality in wire electrical discharge machined specimens by removing the recast layer using magnetic abrasive finishing method

This study explores the feasibility of removing the recast layer formed on aluminum alloy cylindrical specimens machined by wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) by using magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF). The WEDM is a thermal machining process capable of accurately machining parts with high hardness or complex shapes. The sparks produced during the WEDM process melt the metal’s surface. The molten material undergoes ultra-rapid quenching and forms a layer on the surface defined as recast layer. The recast layer may be full of craters and microcracks which reduce service life of materials tremendously, especially under fatigue loads in corrosive environments. This investigation demonstrates that MAF process, can improve the quality of WEDM machined surfaces effectively by removing the recast layer. The present work studies the effect of some parameters, i.e., linear speed, working gap, abrasive particle size, and finishing time on surface roughness and recast layer thickness using full factorial analysis. Three-level full factorial technique is used as design of experiments for studying the selected factors. In order to indicate the significant factors, the analysis of variance has been used. In addition, an equation based on regression analysis is presented to indicate the relationship between surface roughness and recast layer thickness of cylindrical specimens and finishing parameters. Experimental results show the influence of MAF process on recast layer removal and surface roughness improvement.
