Abstract

The present work scrutinizes the impact of ultrasonic vibration on the contact temperature during polishing zinc plates with Single Pole Magnetic Abrasive Finishing (SPMAF). The efficacy and eminence of FMAB finishing are pointedly influenced by heat generation at the interaction point, as raised up temperatures can lead to the deprivation of abrasive elements or the bonding material inside the brush, which leads to the fading its overall effectiveness. The magnetic abrasive particles (MAPs) play a vital role in the machining region to achieve high-precision surface finishing. Ultrasonic vibrations boost the performance of the flexible magnetic abrasive brush (FMAB), which affects the material exclusion and thermal behaviour. Key aspects analysed include polishing-speed (250–1250 RPM), feed-rate (1.5–5.5 mm/sec), working-gap (4–6 mm), and temperature variations at the workpiece-brush interaction during finishing. The study objectives are to establish a connection between process parameters, contact temperature, and finishing efficiency. Experimental consequences indicate that ultrasonic vibrations influence heat generation within the brush, which affects machining performance and surface features. The results contribute to improving SPMAF parameters for improved thermal management, surface quality in precision engineering applications.
