Development of mathematical model for material removal and surface roughness in electrolytic magnetic abrasive finishing process

摘要

Electrolytic magnetic abrasive finishing is a hybrid machining process which takes into account both electrolytic & magnetic abrasive finishing process. It is a high efficiency finishing process which is used for advanced engineering materials like super alloys, metal matrix composites and ceramics. In this study mathematical modeling of material removal has been performed by considering the effect of electrode gap on material removal and then surface roughness model has been developed by assuming the surface profile as triangular. This research also investigates the interaction between various input process and their effect on process output characteristics like MRR and surface finish. The simulated data has been validated with the previous literature result which were found to be in good agreement.
