Thermal Interaction Analysis Between Flexible Magnetic Abrasive Brush and Aluminium Alloy During Single-Pole MAF

By Chandan Kumar Jha, Kheelraj Pandey, Vineet Srivastava, Ashwani Sharma, Gaurav Raj Pandey

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 …

Experimental Investigation into MRR of Polished Zinc Plate with Ultrasonic Vibrations Using Single Pole Magnetic Abrasive Finishing Process

By Arsh Siddiqui, Mragank Sharma, Kheelraj Pandey, Ashwani Sharma

Abstract: The present research examines the material removal rate (MRR) in finishing zinc plates on the experimental framework called Single Pole Magnetic Abrasive Finishing Process (SPMAFP) by inducing ultrasonic vibrations. By means of a Flexible Magnetic Abrasive Brush (FMAB) composed of 40% alumina and 60% iron elements, the investigation estimates the effect of key process parameters on surface finishing excellence. An L-16 factorial study design was applied to examine the FMAB …

Experimental Investigation into Surface Roughness of Polished Zinc Plate with Ultrasonic Vibration Using Single Pole Magnetic Abrasive Finishing

By Puneet Singh, Ashwani Sharma, Kheelraj Pandey, Chitra Bajpai

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. …
