Abstract

Experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of temperature during magnetic abrasive finishing of Mg alloy bars. A magnetic abrasive finishing process is an unconventional finishing technique that has been used to achieve high-quality surfaces with dimensional accuracy. In this study, a Mg alloy bar, which is widely used in automobiles, aircraft, IT, and the defense industry, was chosen as a cylindrical workpiece. The workpiece was then finished with a magnetic abrasive finishing process at three different temperatures, i.e., a cryogenic temperature, room temperature, and high temperature. In the cryogenic temperature condition, liquid nitrogen and argon gas were used as the cryogenic cooling gases in the finishing process; the results from this treatment were compared with those obtained at room temperature and high temperature conditions. At the room temperature condition, the finishing process of the cylindrical workpiece was performed at 24 °C. To carry out the high temperature condition, a hot air dryer was used to maintain a finishing temperature of 112 °C. The experimental results show that the room and cryogenic temperatures could yield excellent performance in terms of the surface roughness. However, in terms of the removal weight and change in diameter, the high temperature condition was found to be superior. In the present research, the improvements of the surface roughness (Ra) at room temperature (24 °C) and cryogenic temperature (-120 °C) conditions were 84.21 % and 55 %, respectively.
