Investigation into a geometry-based model for surface roughness prediction in vibratory finishing processes

The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology volume 75, pages 815–823 (2014)Cite this article

Abstract

The machining process vibratory finishing is used to improve the topology of workpiece surfaces. Typically, surface roughness improves until a steady-state is reached. In this state, material will be removed but roughness remains relatively stable. Consequently, the focus of this paper is set on the so-called transient period of vibratory finishing. A new approach is presented to predict the roughness change after a given process time. In contrast to past approaches concentrating on mass or diameter loss of the workpiece, the model is based on geometric changes of the roughness-profile during the transient period of vibratory finishing. This model can be used to estimate process times needed to achieve a desired roughness of a workpiece.
