Abstract
Magnetic abrasive finishing technology has been known very well in finishing of stainless steel SUS304 pipes to mirror finish standard. However, the applications in softer metal such as aluminum A2017 were difficult due to soft metal characteristic itself. In 2002, Zou and Shinmura had developed a new method of magnetic field assisted machining process using magnetic machining jig for SUS304 pipe [. The development has since then expanded in many research. This research finds the optimum finishing condition for mirror finish standard in internal surface of aluminum A2017 pipe. We use a 100% polyester fabric that does not cause scratch on the material and found that the optimum pole-pipe gap to be 13mm to achieve the best surface roughness Ra of 0.020μm after finishing, from surface roughness Ra of 0.195μm before finishing.
