ABSTRACT: -
Thispapershowsoneoftheadvancedfinishingprocessesas comparedtoconventionalfinishingprocessandit’srequired tool’sspecificationalongwithspecialtyandanalysis.
Abrasive flow machining processes is one of the most advancedfinishingprocesseswhichisinventedin1960for deburring process in USA but later it is well-known as advancedfinishingprocessorAFM.Thisprocesscangiveus superfinishing machine members for simple to complex structure.Oneofthemostadvantagesofthisprocessisthat itusedtoproducemicrotonanosurfacefinishingwhichis thecurrentrequirementofmostproductsinthiscompetitive environment.ThreebasiccomponentsofthisAFMsystem areMachine,ToolingandMedia.So,media playamajorrole for the finishing process. Media is nothing but the composites of abrasive, natural polymer as SBR and oil (Paraffin) along with some additives. As we are using abrasive either Silicon carbide, Al2O3, Dimond, boron carbideetc.,thisisalsocalledasmultipointcuttingtool.This isflexibletoolwhichcanprovidesuperfinishingatlowcost, lessfinishingtimebesidesverysimplemachinestructure.
Noofparametersareresponsibleforproducingthefinishing products as raw material’s initial structure, types of raw materials, operating process, operating pressure, no of working stroke, stroke time, properties of media like rheological properties, thermal properties, mechanical, chemical properties properties etc. So, media and its characterizationoranalysisareveryimportanttodesignthe best tool and its combination to improve the finishing standard of a workpiece. So, this paper focus on the composites of multipoint tools along with analysis result. After doing some analysis it has been found that that the combination of 0.68 Sic 0.2 SBR 0.12 oil gives the superfinishingforEn8andAlmaterials.

The clearancebetweenrollwasadjustablefrom0.2mmto8mm.

PERFORMANCE OR ANALYSIS OF MEDIA: -
Media performance are analyzed by doing the finishing operation ontheworkpiece likeEn8andAluminumusing AFM system. Before performing the operation clean the material with acetone and measured its initial value of hardness and surface roughness. Materiel should be free formtexturesandshouldbepreparedbyprecisionmachine so that it led to yield superfinished materials. Roughness valuearemeasuredbystandardsurfaceroughnessTesteras ModelSJ301
