The second-generation magnetic abrasive polishing is one of the nontraditional machining technologies newly developed. Because of the flexibility effect in magnetic abrasive polishing, the precise and mirror like surface can be obtained during this process. In this study, magnetic abrasive polishing process was applied in small grooved surface. As a result, it was seen that the flexible magnetic abrasive tool was effective to remove burrs on the edge of the groove. However, the efficiency of magnetic abrasive polishing at the slot was very low according to increasing depth and width of slot. So, correlation between geometric parameters, such as the depth and width, and surface roughness was evaluated and the minimum width for suitable polishing was found by experimental results.

An internal finishing process applying Magnetic Abrasive Finishing (MAF) was proposed to produce smooth inner surfaces of tubes at a high rate. Since this process uses the tube rotation system, it has been considered applicable only to tubes which are rotatable at high speeds. Here development of the stainless tube(STS 304) rotation system to extend the scope of the application of the internal finishing process applying MAF was made. By the stainless tube(STS 304) rotation system, the abrasive magnetically attracted by the poles is rotated along the inner surface of the tube by magnetic force together with fixed poles, finishing the inner surface of the tube. The main results obtained are as follows : 1) The magnet abrasive finishing minimized influence due to external force because non-contact finishing, 2) The profile of surface roughness decreased very good in 11.4m/min range because abrasive size and speed, 3) The profile of surface roughness by flux density decreased in finishing speed 28m/min, 4) The profile of surface roughness by fled rate decreased in 0.16mm/rev and 0.18mm/rev.

The magnetic polishing is the useful method to finish some machinery fabrications by using magnetic power. This method is one of the precision techniques and has an aim for clean technology in the clean pipes. The magnetic abrasive polishing method is not so common in the field of machine that it is not known to widely. There are rarely researcher in this field because of non-effectiveness of magnetic abrasive. This paper deals with mediocritizing magnetic polishing device into regular lathe and this experiment was conducted in order to get the best surface roughness at low cost. This paper contains the result of experiment to acquire the best surface roughness, not using the high-cost polishing material in processing. In this paper, We could have investigated into the changes of the movement of magnetic abrasive grain. In reference to this result, we could have made the experiment which is set under the condition of the magnetic flux density, polishing velocity according to the form of magnetic brush.

R/In order to satisfy the customer's variant needs for a product quality in recent years, a demand for developing higher precision machining technologies in a lot of application areas such as automobile, cellular phone and semiconductor has been increased more and more. Magnetic abrasive polishing(MAP) process is one of these precision technologies. In this study, to verify the parameters' effect of the MAP process on the surface roughness improvement of the plane and the inclined workpiece, well planned experiments which was called the design of experiments were carried out. Considered polishing factors were spindle speed, supplied current, abrasive type and working gap between the workpiece and the solid tool. As a result, it was seen that the supplied current and the working gap greatly affected the surface roughness improvement.

In a conventional magnetic abrasive polishing process, the polishing abrasives are mixed with ferrous particles and slight cutting oil to form a cluster of abrasives. However, when a tool rotates at a high revolution speed, most of the polishing abrasives are scattered away from it due to the increase in centrifugal force. This phenomenon directly reduces the polishing efficiency. The use of a highly viscous matter such as silicone gel instead of cutting oil for mixing is one method to solve this problem and increase abrasive adhesion. Another method to avoid high abrasive scattering is the application of wet magnetic abrasive polishing (WMAP). In WMAP, abundant mineral oil is preliminarily applied to the workpiece surface. This study experimentally evaluated the effect of WMAP on abrasive adhesion. The relationship between the amount of working abrasives and polishing conditions was characterized. Despite the lower adhesion ratio of polishing abrasives, the surface roughness was found to be significantly improved as the result of WMAP.

The conventional method of magnetic abrasive polishing is not suitable for non-magnetic materials because such polishing is basically possible when magnetic force exists and the magnetic force in non-magnetic materials is very low. The installation of an electromagnet under the working area of a non-magnetic material, which is called second-generation magnetic abrasive polishing in this study, can enhance the magnetic force. Experimental evaluation and optimization of process parameters for polishing magnesium alloy steel was performed by adopting the design of experiments and the response surface method. The results indicated that the intensity of the magnetic force and spindle speed are significant parameters that affect the improvement of surface roughness. A prediction model for the surface roughness of the magnesium alloy steel is developed using the second-order response surface method.

Results ar presented of a new process for internal precision finishing of slender fine ceramic pipes using a magnetic field generated by a permanent magnets. For finishing the interior surface of a long pipe, a new type of finishing equipment was developed which can be very easily used in an industrial surrounding. In general, the pipe is so slender that a conventional finishing tool is hardly inserted into the pipe deeply, being impossible to finish. Therefore, a new technology has been considered to finish inside of a slender ceramic pipe by a simple technique. In this experimental, Magnetic Abrasive Machining is applied for the inner surface of silicon nitride fine ceramic pipe using ferromagnetic particles mixed with chromium-oxide powder. It is shown the initial roughness of 2.6㎛ Ry(0.42㎛ Ra) in the inside surface can be precisely finished to the roughness of 0.1㎛ Ry(0.01㎛ Ra). This paper discusses the outline of the processing by the application of magnetic abrasive machining and a few finishing characteristics.
