Precision blasting of metals (3rd report) —Rounding of corners—

Abstract

The Nano-abrasion Machining of hard and brittleness materials with minute grits of about 1μm diameter has been proposed in our laboratory. In the previous report, the machining characteristic of ferrous materials and cemented carbide was investigated, and a possibility of corrective figuring was found. In this paper, in order to examine a further possibility of precision micromachining, the fundamental machining characteristic of rounding corners was investigated.
