It is very important to make an intensive control of burr and surface roughness in the actuator arm of HDD for personal computer. There are two finishing techniques for actuator arm mechanical and chemical method. Centrifugal barrelling and magnetic deburring are mechanical methods, and electrolysis finish is a chemical method. Centrifugal barrelling and magnetic deburring are widely used due to the excellence in convenience and mass production. In this study, characteristics of surface roughness and deburring effect in magnetic deburring and centrifugal barrelling are investigated, and their performance of finishing is compared.
