Abstract
Titanium is often used in various important applications in transportation and the healthcare industry. The goal of this study was to determine the optimum processing of magnetic abrasives in beta-titanium wire, which is often used in frames for eyeglasses because of its excellent elasticity among titanium alloys. To check the performance of the magnetic abrasive finishing process, the surface roughness (Ra) was measured when the specimen was machined at various rotational speeds (700, 1500, and 2000 rpm) in the presence of diamond paste of various particle sizes (0.5, 1, and 3 μm). We concluded that the surface roughness (Ra) was the best at 2000 rpm, 1 μm particle size, and 300 s processing time, and the surface roughness of β-titanium improved from 0.32 to 0.05 μm. In addition, the optimal conditions were used to test the influence of the finishing gap, and it was found that the processing power was superior at a gap of 3 mm than at 5 mm when processing was conducted for 300 s.
Highlights
Materials with good mechanical properties are needed in high-tech applications
Wire titanium comes in the form of pure titanium alloy, which has been widely used in eyeglasses frames because of its good elasticity, resilience, and ability to bend to fit the shape of the face
Beta titanium is lighter than regular titanium and can be a good alternative material for weight reduction because it is stronger, resistant to heat, and shows less deformation and deterioration caused by salt [3]
Summary
Materials with good mechanical properties are needed in high-tech applications. Many studies are being conducted to achieve high accuracy and improve the quality of products, with regard to surface properties. The surface accuracy results obtained are not satisfactory in many industries. Beta titanium is lighter than regular titanium and can be a good alternative material for weight reduction because it is stronger, resistant to heat, and shows less deformation and deterioration caused by salt [3]. It has been applied in clinical situations, for example, in braces for teeth
