Surface properties and shape characteristic of cylinder inner surface processing utilizing magnetic compound fluid

Abstract

The polishing characteristics of cylinder inner surface polishing utilizing magnetic compound fluid were investigated. Coaxial polishing and helical polishing are proposed. Therefore, the performance with regard to material removal, surface accuracy, and shape accuracy were clarified. The results of polishing methods suggested that there is an optimum polishing speed. In addition, coaxial polishing showed improved performance with regard to material removal, surface accuracy, and circularity. On the other hand, helical polishing showed significant performance for corner shape (in/out) accuracy, and both polishing methods improved cylindricity.
