CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1. Magnetic Abrasive Finishing (MAF)
Surface roughness of parts produced by conventional machine tools, depends n the machine tool system and the cutting process. It is difficult to produce a smooth surface on complicated profiles at an economic cost by using conventional machining processes. This and the advent of new ‘ difficult-to-machine’ materials like hardened steel, nickel, cobalt, titanium alloys, ceramics, glass, etc., have necessitated the need for new machining techniques.
Magnetic abrasive finishing is one such alternate process for improving the surface finish on complicated profiles at a reasonably low cost. It presents an attractive novel concept of surface and edge finish by abrasive particles. This process can overcome the limitations of traditional rigid shape grinding wheels in tackling complicate peripheries and may result in minimize induced stresses that usually come about by excessive penetration of hard grains in......
