Abstract

Surface quality is most desirable for high speed machines and reciprocating parts where friction must be minimized. Surface quality is deteriorated during different machining, casting and forming operations which must be retained during finishing of product. Researchers have faced many challenges to achieve nano-level finish using conventional finishing processes. Thus, they have focused on advanced finishing process such as magnetic abrasive honing which yield ultra-smooth surface. In present research work, optimization of process parameters is performed to enhance the surface finish during honing process. The impact of rotations, magnetic flux and processing time has been studied on percentage change in surface roughness. Ferrous oxide and iron abrasive particles are used during processing. A non-linear equation has been developed between independent and dependent variables using regression analysis. Genetic algorithm is applied to optimize the objective equation which suggested the significance of rotations which are directly proportional to output.
