Variation of flow parameters and Magnetic flux in Viscoelastic Magnetic Abrasive Finishing Process

摘要

The advancement of manufacturing technology give rise to the development of various non-traditional machining processes which have their specific applications. Magnetic abrasive finishing is a non-traditional machining process mainly developed to accomplish the finishing processes by considering the magnetic effect into account. Various ferromagnetic particles and viscous fluids are being used for the purpose to provide a better finishing to the work piece. In this paper a serious effort is made to study the distribution of magnetic field intensity on the work piece along with the computation of force and torque value experienced by the ferromagnetic particle and abrasive particle also a plot of variation of magnetic field intensity against the input current is obtained using ANSYS Maxwell. The distribution of various flow parameters is also studied by using ANSYS Fluent 16. After going through the simulated result, it was concluded that the suggested viscous fluid is suitable for the process and an optimised value of parameters is required for controlling the machining process.
