Experimental set-up
An experimental set-up for developing MAFM contained two cylinders
containing the medium along with oval flanges , mainly for clamping of
the fixture that contains the workpiece . The set-up is integrated to
a hydraulic press. The flow rate of the medium was varied by changing
the speed of the press drive and an auxiliary hydraulic cylinder allowed
pressure change. The resistance provided by this cylinder is adjustable
and can be set to any desired value with the help of a modular relief
valve . The stroke length is controlled with the help of a limit
switch. Two strokes make up one cycle.
The fixture
nylon,is used because it allows electromagnet poles such that the
maximum magnetic pull occurs near the inner surface of the workpiece.
The electromagnet
the cylindrical workpiece was surrounded by the electromagnet. two
poles that are surrounded by coils arranged are present in it.
The abrasive medium
a silicon-based polymer, hydrocarbon gel and the abrasive grains are used
as the abrasives.
