Abstract

This paper deals with the experimental investigations conducted with magnetic abrasive powder in Magnetic Abrasive Machining. This experimental study is concerned with the experimental setup, development of equipment and detailed experimental investigations for the improvement of work surface finish by Magnetic Abrasive Machining. Experiments were conducted on heat treated stainless steel (AISI 440C) material with silicon carbide as magnetic abrasive. By means of Orthogonal Array experimentation, the set of parameters that can improve the workpiece surface finish by at least 50% are selected. The influence of different process parameters apart from the work surface characteristics on the process results are highlighted.
