Abstract

Abrasive flow machining (AFM) is a generally most recent machining procedure among non-traditional machining processes. Particularly low material removal rate happens to be one of the limitations of the processes. Limited efforts have been directed towards improving the efficiency of these processes so as to achieve better results by applying different techniques. This paper talks about the conceivable improvement accomplishments in the surface finish by applying a magnetic field around a test specimen in AFM. An abrasive flow machining experiment set-up has been created to acquire a procedure termed magneto abrasive flow machining (MAFM), and the impact of key parameters on the general execution of the process has been considered. Relationships were developed between process parameters and the percentage improvement in surface finish of stainless steel 318 components when finish-machined by this process. Analysis of variance has been connected to distinguish critical parameters and to test the ampleness of the models. Experimental results indicated that performance of MAFM significantly improved over AFM. Leading to improve internal surface quality of products such as heat exchanger, plastic dies and others. Many of industries are concerned in MAFM produced surface quality such as army, aero-planes, atomic reactors and computers industry.
