Abstract
This paper describes a new ultra-precision magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) process using alternating magnetic field. The process principle and the finishing characteristics are described. Specifically, the effects of finishing parameters such as cutting fluid, rotational speed of magnetic pole, and current frequency on change in material removal and surface finish are investigated respectively. Experimental results indicate that neat cutting oil is more suitable for this processing, which can obtain higher material removal and smoother finished surface compared with water-soluble cutting fluid and silicone fluid. The finishing force and material removal are gradually increasing with the increase of rotational speed of magnetic pole. It is confirmed that the angle variation of magnetic particles is decreasing with the increase of current frequency, and the few nanometer surface can be acquired in the condition of low frequency.
