 What is Magneto Abrasive Flow Machining?
Magnetic abrasives are emerging as important finishing
methods for metals and ceramics.

 Extrude Hone Corporation, USA, originally developed the

AFM process in 1966.

 Modeling of surface generation and process monitoring of

AFM was conducted by Williams and Rajurkar during the late
1980s
a) Off-state MR fluid particles (b) Aligning in an applied
magnetic field magnetic field
One-way machines:

Medium chamber adapted to receive

and extrude medium unidirectionally
across the internal surfaces of a work
piece
Two-way machines:

The medium is extruded,

hydraulically or mechanically,
from the filled chamber to
the empty chamber via the
restricted passageway through
or past the work piece surface to be
abraded.
 Orbital MAFM Process

In orbital MAFM, the work piece is

precisely oscillated in two or three
dimensions

Before start of finishing

Orbital MAFM concept is to provide

transitional motion to the work piece

While
finishing
1. Flow rate (volume) of the medium.
2. Magnetic flux density.
3. Number of cycles.
4. Extrusion pressure.
5. Viscosity of the medium.
6. Grain size and concentration of the abrasive.
7. Work piece material.
8. Flow volume of the medium.
 A very high volume of internal deburring is possible.
 MAFM deburrs precision gears.
 MAFM removes recast layer from components.
 Effective on all metallic materials.
 Controllability, repeatability and cost effectiveness.
 Less Time Consumption.
 Abrasive materials tend to get embedded, if the work material is
ductile.
 Require closed environment.
 Require start up hole.
APPLICATIONS
 Automotives
 Medical implants
 Manufacturing industries
