Thermal Interaction Analysis Between Flexible Magnetic Abrasive Brush and Aluminium Alloy During Single-Pole MAF
Abstract: Magnetic Abrasive Finishing (MAF) is a precision surface‐finishing approach that employs magnetic abrasive particles (MAPs) within a managed magnetic field to eliminate micro-level material and enhance surface condition. In the finishing process, the friction created between the workpiece and the flexible magnetic abrasive brush (FMAB) leads to heat accumulation, which may badly affect the surface integrity. This study focuses on investigating the temperature distribution at the FMAB–workpiece interface to decrease …
