Polishing characteristics of buff machining using non-woven nanofiber fabric

Abstract

Previously, we developed a modified melt blowing method for stable mass production of non-woven polypropylene nanofiber fabric. Here, we focus on an abrasive buffing application with machining center. We produced a buffing tool with non-woven nanofiber fabric, and investigated its buffing mechanism. The results indicated that the combination of fiber diameter, bulk density, and grain diameter markedly influence the buffing machining characteristics.
