Abstract
In these decades, there has been an increasing demand for magnetic field-assisted surface finishing processes in the industries. It is due to specific features available in the magnetic assisted surface finishing process; these are contactless and effectively controlling of magnetic forces in the intricate passage. These processes are hybridized by modification in the existing conventional surface finishing process or by clubbing two or more unconventional surface finishing processes. Magnetic Abrasive Flow Finishing (abbreviated as MAFF) process is an unconventional process used for internal cylindrical surface finishing, intricate and complex inside profile geometry. It is a hybrid process that gives a combined effect of AFM and the MAF process. MAFF was developed by the researchers Sahijpal Singh and H.S. Shan in the 2000s. They modified the AFM by applied an electromagnet around the workpiece. The main drawbacks of AFM’s process were low material removal rate and time-consuming process. MAFF was an advancement of AFM, in MAFF process material removal and surface finishing both considerable optimize. MAFF has a broader range of applications in electronics manufacturing of aerospace, semiconductor, automotive components, and medical components like biopsy needle.
