Planetary scroll surface polishing method for aluminum wheel hub

摘要

Instead of manual polishing work for aluminum wheel hub (hub) surface, a new planetary scroll surface polishing method based on the rotation and revolution of hub in abrasives is presented in this paper. Since conventional barrel rotation polishing mode is unsatisfactory, shorter polishing period and lower energy consumption are expected. The surface polishing mechanism of the proposed method is then introduced. The influence of cutting velocity, cutting angle, abrasive on surface polishing quality and effciency, as well as the correlation of the revolution velocity and the rotation velocity of hub are discussed. Experimental results show that high surface polishing quality and effciency can be achieved with the new polishing method implying that a dustless clean working environment is realized.
