Abstract

This chapter presents a comparative study for a better understanding of shear thickening fluid (STF) effect in polishing operations. For this purpose, two polishing slurries were prepared based on (i) a Newtonian fluid and (ii) a non-Newtonian fluid. In the Newtonian fluid based slurry, polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used as the carrier liquid for the abrasive silicon carbide (SiC) particles. The non-Newtonian fluid was an STF, which was synthesized by distributing fumed silica particles in PEG. Similar to the Newtonian case, SiC particles were included as the abrasive phase in the STF. A WC-Co specimen was subjected to polishing operations by using both slurries. After the operations, surface roughness and surface topography results were evaluated. The results show that there is a clear difference between the polishing slurries. The Newtonian based slurry leads to a very slight improvement in the surface quality, while the STF based slurry greatly enhances the surface finish in the specimen. According to the results, the initial roughness of Ra 0.12 μm is reduced to Ra 0.09 μm by using the Newtonian fluid based slurry, while the finishing surface roughness is lowered to Ra 0.02 μm by the effect of STF based slurry.
