Experimental study and modeling of abrasive flow finishing process for nanofinishing of macro to micro features

Abstract

Finishing is the final operation performed in most of the manufacturing processes Finishing operations costs as much as 15 of the total manufacturing cost in a production cycle In the finishing process the main criterion is to achieve minimal better surface roughness Surface roughness plays a vital role in deciding the overall functionality of the component during its life span Smaller the component size more is the effect of surface roughness in determining its functioning Traditional
