Feasibility Study on Magnetorheological Finishing of Thin Copper Substrate

Thin copper substrates with high accuracy are highly required in precision physical experiments.However,even using double-sided lapping,the flatness is still limited due to the accuracy of lapping plate,process vibration and so on.Hence,as a subsequent process,this paper employs magnetorheological finishing(MRF)to further improve the flatness.Nevertheless,thin copper substrates,which are sensitive to the stress,deformed easily with uneven material removal on the surface.Therefore,MRF is adopted on machining thin copper substrate for the first time considering deformation induced by stress.A finite element model is established to evaluate the deformation by residual stress,and the results show that the deformation tends to be more serious with the increase of the material removal.According to the simulation results,the material removal is optimized considering both deformation and efficiency,and a series of experiments are conducted on aΦ100×2.8 mm workpiece to verify the simulation results.The experimental results show that the flatness is further improved from peak to valley(PV)6.6μm to PV 2.3μm with optimized processing parameters.Hence,the feasibility of magnetorheological finishing on thin copper substrate is demonstrated.

Advanced nonlinear rheology magnetorheological finishing: A review

High-performance devices usually have curved surfaces, requiring high accuracy of shape and low surface roughness. It is a challenge to achieve high accuracies for form and position on a device with low surface roughness. However, due to the unique nonlinear rheology, magnetorheological fluids with hard abrasives are widely applied in ultra-precision surface finishing. Compared with conventional mechanical finishing, magnetorheological finishing displays obviously advantages, such as high precision shape of machined surface, low surface roughness and subsurface damage, and easy control for finishing processes. However, finishing performance depends on various factors, e.g. volume fraction and distribution of magnetic particles, types of hard abrasives and additives, strength of magnetic field, finishing forms. Therefore, a comprehensive review on related works is essential to understand the state-of-the-art of magnetorheological finishing and beneficial to inspire researchers to develop lower cost, higher machining accuracy and efficient approaches and setups, which demonstrates a significant guidance for development of high-performance parts in fields of aerospace, navigation and clinical medicine etc. This review starts from the rheological property of magnetorheological fluids, summarizing dynamically nonlinear rheological properties and stable finishing approaches. Then, the effect of components in magnetorheological fluids is discussed on finishing performance, consisting of magnetic particles, carrier fluid, additives and abrasives. Reasonable configuration of magnetorheological fluids, and different magnetorheological finishing methods are presented for variously curved surfaces. In addition, the current finishing forms and future directions are also addressed in this review.

Restraint of mid-spatial frequency error in magnetorheological finishing (MRF) process by maximum entropy method

In order to restrain the mid-spatial frequency error in magnetorheological finishing (MRF) process, a novel part-random path is designed based on the theory of maximum entropy method (MEM). Using KDMRF-1000F polishing machine, one flat work piece (98 mm in diameter) is polished. The mid-spatial frequency error in the region using part-random path is much lower than that by using common raster path. After one MRF iteration (7.46 min), peak-to-valley (PV) is 0.062 wave (1 wave =632.8 nm), root-mean-square (RMS) is 0.010 wave and no obvious mid-spatial frequency error is found. The result shows that the part-random path is a novel path, which results in a high form accuracy and low mid-spatial frequency error in MRF process.
