A Case Study of EPDM Rubber Media Utilized in the Abrasive Flow Machining Process

摘要

Abrasive flow machining (AFM) is a nontraditional finishing process increasingly being used to deburr, radius, polish, remove recast layers or produce compressive residual stresses. In AFM, two opposed cylinders extrude a semi-solid abrasive media back and forth through passages formed by the work piece and the tooling.
