The finishing process for dies and molds is an important process because it has influence on final quality of products. And it is difficult to automatize finishing process so that the process has depended on expert's skill until now. However, recently a study on development of die automatic finishing machine has been progressed, and actually this machine is applied to fabrication of die. But the research about tooling system is not enough and finishing tool must have high machining efficiency and adaptability of curved surface. So, this study investigated the application of conductive elastic tool which is composed of metal-resin bonded pellet and elastic backing material. The metal-resin bonded pellet is used to finish the surface by conventional mechanical grinding or electro-chemial grinding method. And elastic backing material is used to follow the curved surface. So conductive elastic tool has long lifetime, uniform removal rate and adaptability of curved surface.

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.

Indoor air quality has attracted great attention in recent years and thus the importance of managing finishing materials in terms of pollutant source control is being emphasized. Managing the finishing material at the design stage maximizes the efficiency of IAQ control at the following construction stage. However, there are insufficient investigations on the application of a specific finishing material management process, a database management system or a finishing material management process network. As a result, the main purposes of this study comprise comprehensive evaluation of IAQ performance from the selected finishing materials and auxiliary materials, application of the material management system basing on the types and characteristics of toxic substances generated from the indoor finishing materials, investigation of IAQ evaluation standard, and the overall IAQ evaluation method for the design parts. The result of this study will be the basic data to construct DBMS for management of finishing materials with respect to IAQ.

The surface status of a workpiece determines its functionality, product quality, and manufacturing costs. Thus, several finishing technologies have been widely investigated and applied to improve surface characteristics. In this study, rotational electro-magnetic abrasive finishing (REMAF) was suggested as a non-contact finishing process to achieve high geometric precision. To verify the effects of the REMAF process on burr removal on the surface of Al6061, experiments were conducted using the Taguchi method. Based on the experimental results analyzed by the S/N ratio and ANOVA, the optimal conditions were defined as A₃B₂C₃D₃ that corresponded to 1,800 rpm of rotational speed, 1.5 kg of abrasive particle weight, 0.7 mm of abrasive diameter, and 15 min of working time. In addition, the particle weight was a key attribute for deburring, whereas the working time was less effective.

Finishing is the final process in molds manufacturing and consumes much process time. Also, it influences on surface quality of molds. But, there are few systematic methods to control the process. In this work, basic experiments were carried out to study the machining characteristics of the finishing tools. From the experiments, critical surface roughness and wear coefficient are suggested to reduce the number of finishing steps and to plan a systematic finishing procedure. Comparison experiments were carried out between the expert's method and the new method, which is based on the results of this research. From the experiments, it is verified that the systematic method takes less time and generates less form error in the machined surface than the worker's method.

After drilling, reaming is required to process a workpiece for obtaining an excellent surface quality. In general, a cermet is defined as a "composite of a ceramic hard phase and metal-bonded phase." Cermets have excellent abrasion resistance, thermal resistance, and performance in finishing operations that require surface roughness and processing precision. However, although cermets have significant advantages, research on them is insufficient. In this study, workpiece SM45C was machined using drills and cermet reamers. The cermet reamer was processed for drag finishing for 0, 4, and 6 min. The experimental results showed the effects of drag finishing on surface roughness and dimensional accuracy.

This paper describes a new surface finishing process which uses magnetic abrasive polishing. This is applied to automatic finishing of die & mold surface. Nowadays, most of die & mold meanufaturing procedures have been automated by the introduction of NC machine tool and CAD/CAM system. But the surface finishing of die & mold must be done by hand work of well-skilled workers. Though many attempts were tried in the past 15 years to eliminate this hand work, the automatic finishing of die & mold surface with 3D curvature has not been achieved yet. New magnetic abrasive finishing process is thought as one of the possible methods for the automation of 3D surface finishing. In order to improve the grindability of the method, ultra-high speed and 5-axis machining was introduce. The magnetic abrasive polishing which has adopted these methods was confirmend to improve the efficiencyof die & mold surface finishing.

Mold-manufacturing process consists of machining and finishing process that are strongly related in each other. But there are few studies about mold-manufacturing process to control those two processes simultaneously. Especially, runout distorts the machined surface from expected so it changes the finishing process and mold-manufacturing time. In this work, basic analyses and experiments were carried out to study RVAS variation according to runout in HSM. To perform those analyses, firstly surface generation analysis was done including runout in ball end milling and then the RVAS that could relate machining and finishing process was proposed. And the optimal finishing process in HSM according to RVAS was also proposed. Through experiment runout occurrence and above analyses were verified.
