Abstract

In today’s manufacturing industry surface roughness is highly concerned. Poor surface quality leads to many problems like malfunctioning, large amount of wear, low life span. In case of fluid flow through pipes poor surface quality causes higher friction loss. Lots of efforts were made to improve the surface quality of a product but by conventional processes high level of surface finish are not achievable. By means of hybrid technologies it is feasible to achieve surface roughness up to nano level. The most controlled and effective way to produce surface roughness up to nano meter by using magneto rheological fluid (MRF). With the help of MRF high grade surface finish can achieve with convenient tolerances and without ruining the surface contour. Working principle and their advantages of MR fluid and rotational magneto-rheological abrasive flow finishing is discussed in this chapter.
