Abstract

Automatic magnetic abrasive polishing (MAP), which can be applied after machining of a mold on a machine tool without unloading, is very effective for finishing a free-form surface such as a complicated injection mold. This study aimed to improve the efficiency of MAP of a non-ferrous mold surface. The magnetic array table and control of the electromagnet polarity were applied in the MAP of a free-form surface. In this study, first, the magnetic flux density on the mold surface was simulated to determine the optimal conditions for the polarity array. Then, the MAP efficiency for polishing a non-ferrous mold surface was estimated in terms of the change in the radius of curvature and the magnetic flux density. The most improved surface roughness was observed not only in the upward tool path but also in the working area of larger magnetic flux density.

비자성체의 자유곡면 자기연마 공정에서 자기력 세기의 향상은 매우 중요하다. 비자성체 자유곡면의 표면에 발생하는 자기력의 세기에 따라 자기연마 입자가 가지는 수직 절삭력이 변화하기 때문이다. 이러한 자기력 향상을 위하여 전자석 배열 테이블이 적용된 제 2세대 자기연마공정이 비자성체의 자유곡면 자기연마에 적용된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 제 2세대 자기연마공정에서 전자석 배열 테이블에 발생하는 자기력 세기 향상을 위한 극성배열 방법을 제시하고 이를 알루미늄합금의 곡률 자기연마에 적용하였다. 그 결과 볼록 및 오목 형상에서 각각 S-N-S와 S-N-N-N-S 극성 배열에서 가장 높은 표면거칠기의 향상을 확인하였다. 또한 상승 가공경로에서 상대적으로 높은 표면거칠기 향상을 나타내었다.
