Abstract: The fluid magnetic abrasives (FMA) are a new type of precision finishing abrasives which are developed on the basis of the phase transition phenomenon caused by magnetic field. The sediment stability and agglomerative stability are significant characteristics of FMA, and have a great impact on the finishing capabilities and the final surface roughness value. In order to improve the stability of FMA, a new ingredient based on nanometer SiO2 is proposed, the preparation method and the experimental results are also discussed in this paper.

Abstract: Fluid magnetic abrasive (FMA) is a new precision finishing process. It has the capability of processing free shape surfaces and complex cavities. Due to its strong adjustability and controllability, FMA could be regarded as the final process of machining which could greatly improve the surface quality of workpiece. The paper first introduces the component and machining mechanism of FMA, secondly it describes the model of the material removal in the process, thirdly it presents the devices of FMA polishing. At the end, a grinding head tool based machining mode is proposed for realizing the polishing of internal cavity.

Abstract: The fluid magnetic abrasives (FMA) are a new type of precision finishing abrasives which are developed on the basis of the phase transition phenomenon caused by magnetic field. The rheological effect of FMA is the basis to achieve its finishing function, and has a great impact on the finishing capabilities and the final surface roughness. In order to get a better understanding of FMA finishing mechanism, the rheological effect models of FMA are deduced for the first time, the simulations and the experimental results are discussed as well in this paper.
