Abstract
Abrasive jet polishing (AJP) is a new non-conventional machining technology for applying to polish the complex surfaces and small areas. Compared with other polishing technologies, AJP has the following advantages: high precision, easy to control, small machining force, good flexibility, without thermal distortion, etc. A review of five main AJP technologies has been conducted to provide an insight into the trends in research of principles, technological method, and impact of polishing quality. Several AJP methods discussed in this work include abrasive water jet polishing, nanoparticle colloid jet polishing, magnetorheological jet polishing, abrasive air jet polishing, and negative pressure cavity jet polishing. The monitoring methods of AJP process are introduced. The jet velocity, material removal, surface roughness, and numerical modeling of jet polishing are also discussed. The effects of some major technological parameters are analyzed. The polish results of metal, glass, and silicon materials are summarized. The probable further research tendency on AJP technology is forecasted. It is a high-potential technology to machine the microstructures and difficult-to-machine materials.
