During the magnetic abrasive polishing of a curved surface, the improvement in surface roughness varies with the maximum value and distribution of magnetic flux density. Thus, in this study, the magnetic flux density on the curved surface was simulated according to curvature radii of magnetic tool. As a result of the simulation, the 14.5mm of the magnetic tool had a higher maximum magnetic flux density and it showed a large weighted magnetic flux density. The weighted magnetic flux density means the highest value for the magnetic flux density in the curvature of the magnetic tool. From the experimental verification, the better improvement in surface roughness was observed on wider area at the 14.5mm radius of the magnetic tool than other radii.

The shot peening process is most often used to improve fatigue properties of metal parts. The single most critical parameter of the shot peening process is the shot ball itself. Without the correct quality media, all other shut peening parameters are extraneous and the desired fatigue improvement and consistency of improvement will not be achieved. Shot peening involves modifications of the surface and subsurface condition of a material that can be described by the change of the residual stresses, the hardness, and the surface roughness. This Paper Presents the shot peening to optimize the shot ball parameters. The effect of shot peening parameter on the surface roughness, surface hardness and residual stress are investigated.

This paper presents a study on the improvement of the machining quality of sculptured-surfaces of molds according to the shape and posture of the tool. In the existing 3-axis machining, the methods using the ball end-mill and radius end-mill were analyzed for various cutting patterns and compared with those of the 5-axis machining. It was observed that the 5-axis machining using a ball end-mill obtained the finest surface roughness, and for the 3-axis machining, the optimal results were obtained for the one-way machining using a radius end-mill.

In this study, we test the effects of the surface roughness on the hydro efficiency of double-suction centrifugal pumps ($Q=70.7m^3/min$, H = 87 m). The original surface of the impeller and inner casing were coated, resulting in surface-roughness reductions ranging from $100{\sim}110{\mu}m$ to $0{\sim}0.08{\mu}m$. We conducted experimental studies to measure the efficiency of the pumps and operating-pump electro energy variations with different surface roughness values. The experimental results showed that the efficiency of the pumps increased by about 0.8~1.79% and the electric energy of the operating pump was reduced by around 4.38 ~ 6.08%. These results indicate that the performance of the pumps depend largely on the surface roughness of the impeller and inner casing, and by reducing the surface roughness, we can improve the efficiency of the pump and reduce costs by reducing the electric energy consumption.

5-axis NC machining has a good advantage of the accessibility of tool motion by adding two rotary axes. It offers numerous advantages such as expanding machining fields in parts of turbo machineries like impeller, propeller, turbine blade and rotor, reasonable tool employment and great reduction of the set-up process. However, as adding two rotary axes, it is difficult to choose suitable machining conditions in terms of tool path, tool posture, feedrate control at a tool tip and post-processing. Therefore in this paper, it is proposed to decide suitable machining condition through an experimental method such as adopting various tool paths, tool postures, and feedrate types. Machining experiment on AL7075 for impeller is performed to define suitable machining condition, and measurement of surface roughness on machined surfaces depended on each machining condition is performed. By defining suitable machining condition, we should have conclusion as improving the surface quality in the aspect of surface roughness and machined shape of surface.

Airplane reservoirs made of Al7075 are coated with an anodizing layer to maintain precision, air tightness and corrosion resistance. It is commonly required that the inner surface roughness of the reservoir be less than an average $0.2{\mu}m$ to maintain stable oil pressure. Even though precision polishing is necessary to achieve this quality it is not easy. Inner surface roughness is not uniform and the quality of the product is irregular because most of the work is done by hand. The purpose of this study is to design an exclusive polishing machine and to determine the standard cutting condition and polishing condition necessary for good inner surface roughness and to improve workefficiency.

The applicability of a new method, termed the whirling motion concept, for the improvement of the surface finish in milling three-dimensional sculptured surfaces has been investigated. A method for implementing this concept o conventional NC machines that utilize a suitably configured attachment has been proposed. The tool path equation for the ball-end milling process, based on the surface-shaping system, has been obtained. Both results of the computer simulation and the experiment verified the proposed approach.

For the development of compensation machining program, ultra precision grinding used in ultra precision machine and corrective machining was studied. We explored a new rough grinding technique on optical material such as zerodur. The facility used is a polishing machine with a custom grinding module and a range of diamond resin bond wheel. Surface roughness and form accuracy are measured by surface measurement equipment(Form Talysurf series2). Our compensation machining program has complied with a target of producing surface roughness better than $0.05{\mu}m$ Ra and form accuracy of around $0.05{\mu}m$ Rt and has been unveiled as a work-hour model.

This paper has been considered on the cutting characteristics such as chip formation and surface roughness for Inconel 690 alloy with difficult-to-cut because of high toughness and strength. We have made efforts solving the problem to difficult-to-cut of Inconel by improvement of tool with TiN coating and the selection of optimum cutting condition. We used the CCD camera and the surface roughness tester to observe the chip formation and the state of machined surface by using the improved tool with diamond coating and various cutting condions. We have found that the chip formation showed the tooth shape of tooth blade and the surface roughness was very poor. but it can be better by selection of optimum cutting condition.

Silicon wafers are required to be finished under the roughness of nanometer order for the subsequent chip fabrication processes. Recently, the finish grinding techniques have been researched for the improvement of accuracy and surface roughness simultaneously. Among them, the grinding technique using fine abrasive has been known as an easily accessible method. However, the manufacture of the fine grit grinding wheel has been very difficult because of the coherence of the grits. In this paper, the development of the ultrafine grit silica($SiO_2$) grinding wheel by the combination of the binder coating and the vacuum forming techniques is reported. And, the mechanochemical removal effects of the grinding conditions are discussed. Finally, a successful result of Ra O.4nm. Rmax 4nm in the ground surface roughness of a 6 inch silicon wafer was achieved.
