In order to obtain excellent flatness and surface roughness of glass substrate disk, uniform distribution of abrasives should be important for uniform polishing. We introduced coated-type magnetic abrasives and magnetic field to a lapping for the improvement of surface roughness and removal rate. Polishing properties with the conventional diamond abrasives and the coated-type magnetic abrasives were compared. As a result, the coated-type magnetic abrasives showed small surface roughness and large removal rate by applying magnetic field. And it also was shown that coated-type magnetic abrasives could save the more amount of polishing liquid under the same removal rate than the conventional diamond abrasives can.

A new polishing technique for three dimensional micro/meso-scale parts is suggested using a micro quill and a magnetic chain structure. The principle of this method is to polish the target surface with the collected magnetic brushes at a micro tool by the non-uniform magnetic field generated around the tool. In a typical magnetic abrasive finishing process magnetic particles and abrasive particles are unbonded each other. But, to finish the three dimensional small parts bonded magnetic abrasive have to be used. Bonded magnetic abrasives are made from direct bonding, and their polishing characteristics are also examined. Alumina, silicon carbide and diamond micro powders are used as abrasives. Base metal matrix is carbonyl iron powder. It is found that bonded magnetic abrasives are superior to unbonded one by experiment. finally, the polished surface roughness is evaluated by atomic force microscope.

This study suggests the new ultraprecision finishing techniques for micro die and mold parts using magnetic field-assisted polishing. Conventional magnetic abrasives have several disadvantages, which are missing of abrasive particle and inequal mixture between magnetic particle and abrasive particle. Therefore, bonded magnetic abrasive particles are fabricated by several method. For example, plasma melting and direct bonding. Carbonyl iron powder is used as magnetic particle there silicon carbide and alumina are abrasive particles. Developed magnetic abrasives are analyzed using SEM. Feasibility of magnetic abrasive and polishing performance of this magnetic abrasive particles also have been investigated. After polishing, surface roughness of workpiece is reduced from 85.4 ㎚ Ra to 9 ㎚ RA.

Ceramic particles as polishing abrasives are often used in a magnetic abrasive polishing process because they have strong wear resistance. Non-ferromagnetic ceramic abrasives should be mixed with ferromagnetic iron particles for controlling the mixture within a magnetic brush during the polishing process. This study describes the application of the ceramic particles for the magnetic abrasive polishing. The distribution of the magnetic abrasives attached on a tool varies with magnetic flux density and tool rotational speed. From the correlation between abrasive adhesion ratio in the tool and surface roughness produced on a workpiece, practical polishing conditions can be determined. A step-over for polishing a large sized workpiece is able to be selected by a S curve, and an ultrasonic vibration assisted MAP produces a better surface roughness and increases a polishing efficiency.

일반적인 자기연마가공에서 브러쉬는 연마입자와 자성입자 그리고 약간의 절삭유가 혼합되어 형상을 갖춘다. 그러나 공구가 고속으로 회전하게 되면 대부분의 연마입자는 원심력의 증가로 공구에서부터 떨어져나간다. 이러한 현상은 가공 효율을 저하시키는 결과를 야기한다. 이러한 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 방법 중 하나는 절삭유 대신에 실리콘 겔과 같은 고점성의 물질을 사용하여 입자의 구속을 증가시키는 것이다. 연마입자의 과도한 탈락에 대응하는 또 다른 방법은 습식자기연마(WMAP)이다. 습식자기연마는 절삭유가 공작물의 표면에 충분히 공급된 상태의 자기연마를 의미한다. 본 연구에서는 습식자기연마에서 구속된 연마입자의 구속량과 표면거칠기 향상의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 그 결과 습식자기연마에서 연마입자의 구속률이 낮음에도 불구하고 표면거칠기가 더 많이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, new abrasives that were composed of iron powder and carbon nanotube (CNT) particle were attempted to be abrasives for magnetic abrasive polishing. Because the CNT particles itself are very small ones with high hardness and magnetic strength, these properties are effective for magnetic abrasive polishing of nonmagnetic materials. As an experimental result for evaluating the machining characteristics in magnetic abrasive polishing, the CNT particles showed better performance than the conventional abrasives such as Fe and CBN powder.

A new method to fabricate the fine magnetic abrasives by using mechanical alloying is proposed. The mechanical alloying process is a solid powder process where the powder particles are subjected to high energetic impact by the balls in a vial. As the powder particles in the vial are continuously impacted by the balls, cold welding between particles and fracturing of the particles take place repeatedly during the ball milling process using a planetary mill. After the manufacturing process, fine magnetic abrasives which the guest abrasive particles c lung to the base metal matrix without bonding material can be obtained. The shape of the newly fabricated fine magnetic abrasives was investigated using SEM and its polishing performance was verified by experiment. It is very helpful to finishing the injection mold steel in final polishing stage. The areal ms surface roughness of the workpiece after several polishing processes has decreased to a few nanometer scales.

An internal finishing process by the application of magnetic abrasive machining has been developed as a new technology to obtain a fine inner surface of pipe. In this paper, the finishing process of a non-ferromagnetic pipe by a static magnetic field method is introduced and its finishing characteristics is discussed with effective factors by various experiments. From these experimental results, it is found that the magnetic abrasives inserted in the pipe are arranged according to the magnetic force line. Through the experimental, it is possible to estimate the proper supply volume of the abrasive, which in proportional to the diameter of pipe.

This paper has aims to share fundamental knowledge for magnetic abrasive polishing and to mainly introduce recent research results. In order to enhance a magnetic flux density for nonferrous materials, advanced magnetic abrasive polishing system which is called 2nd generation system was established by electro-magnet array table, and the effectiveness of the electromagnet array table was evaluated in real polishing experiments. To increase adhesiveness of the abrasives in high speed polishing, a silicone gel agent was proposed and carbon nanotube particles as new magnetic abrasives were applied in the magnetic abrasive polishing. In addition, a strategy for optimal step-over determination by heuristic algorithm was introduced for applying large size workpiece. Curved surfaces having a uniform radius were simulated and tested with installed electro-magnet array table.
