Numerical Investigation on the Effect of Abrasive Property for Abrasive Flow Machining

Article Preview

Abstract:

Numerical investigations of the abrasive influence on material removal efficiency of the micro-hole for AFM process is conducted in this paper. A three-dimensional model is constructed for this process. The abrasive with various particles volume fraction and different micro-holes with various diameters are selected in this study. The simulation results show that the lower particle volume fraction may be in favour of the metal removal uniformity, but the processing time will be too long if too low fraction is selected.
