Abrasive flow machining (AFM) is an advanced finishing process that utilises a semi-solid, abrasive-laden medium to refine complex surfaces and geometries which are often inaccessible to conventional ...

Engine block cylinder honing is a fairly straight-forward and decades-old practice that hasn’t required a lot of advancements through the years. Shops and garages across the country have peg boards ...

Abrasive water jet machining (AWJM) has emerged as a sophisticated, non-thermal material removal process distinguished by its utilisation of a high-pressure water stream combined with abrasive ...

“Abrasive Finishing Processes” provides a comprehensive overview of the various ways abrasives are used to deburr and improve the surface finish of manufactured parts. Abrasive finishing processes use ...

The manufacturing of diesel injector nozzles requires precision processing to produce multiple micro-holes. An abrasive fluid containing a mixture of mineral oil and hard particles is used for ...

Narrator: I know what you're thinking. No, this is not one of those viral slime videos. You're looking at a process called extrude honing. But what exactly is it? Gary Kubo: Extrude honing is a ...

Cross-drilled holes act as conduits for fluids, lubricants and gases. Failing to remove burrs can cause blockage of these critical passages or create turbulence in the flow. In automated machining, ...

This paper addresses an experimental investigation on the feasibility of using abraslve-waterjets (AWJs) for the precision drilling of small-diameter holes in advanced aircraft engine components.

SCIENTISTS AT the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT-K) have developed a new precision finishing process known as ?Magnetorheological Abrasive Flow Finishing? (MRAFF). Three IIT professors? Dr Manas ...
