Experimental Investigation into Surface Roughness of Polished Zinc Plate with Ultrasonic Vibration Using Single Pole Magnetic Abrasive Finishing
Abstract: This research investigates how applying ultrasonic vibrations influences the surface finish quality of zinc plates when using the Single Pole Magnetic Abrasive Finishing (SP-MAF) method. In SP-MAF, magnetic abrasive particles (MAPs)—amalgamation of ferromagnetic and abrasive materials—are guided by a magnetic field to achieve precise surface finishing. Introducing ultrasonic vibration improves the effectiveness of the flexible magnetic abrasive brush (FMAB), which forms as the MAPs align along the magnetic field lines. …
