Abstract: For the improvement of the performance in centrifugal disc finishing, the flow-through system for supplying the compound solution is tried and its influences on finishing characteristics are experimentally investigated. Workpieces (22 mm in diameter and 15 mm in thickness) of plain carbon steel (S45C in JIS), aluminum alloy (A2017) and copper alloy (C3604) are finished with ceramic media (Equilateral triangular prism 6 mm in side and 5 mm in thickness). The conclusions are summarized as follows; The compound solution has more influences on finishing characteristics than plain water. It makes the relative stock removal larger and the surface roughness smaller than the water. The relative stock removal and the media weight loss on the flow-through system are larger than those on the batch system.

Abstract: The speed-up of the disc rotation in dry centrifugal barrel finishing is done and its influence on finishing characteristics is experimentally examined. The workpiece is a sliced cold rolled bar of plain carbon steel (S45C in JIS, HB221). It is 32mm in diameter and finished to10mm in thickness by belt grinding. The equilateral triangular prism nylon media (
1010mm, A#320) is used at 20vol% in media charging ratio. The disc rotation speed is increased up to 500min-1. By speeding up the disc rotation, the finishing speed improves, but the total efficiency decreases.
