Abstract
This paper presents a rage of variable machining factors which influence substantially friction directly or by the abrasive media wear developed in the cutting zone. Abrasive flow machining is method of machining surfaces of complex holes and curved surface. In the case of traditional stream treatment methods abrasive (AFM) it is difficult to obtain a uniform roughness radial decomposition during polishing complicated openings, which results from uneven distribution of abrasive forces. The group of direct factors include the work piece materials and abrasive media , changes in the fluid pressure, number of flow cycles, the medium flow frequency. In addition, it was proposed modifications in the amount and size of grains abrasives filling the abrasive medium to increase the value of the grain pressure force on the surface to be processed and obtained an even surface of complex holes in the process AFM processing. Special attention was paid to the abrasive media wear evolution and its pronounced effect on changes of the contact conditions. The experiment results also confirm that the rise in the medium flow frequency during the process will not affect the roughness changes work piece surface. Results have been discussed vis-a-vis the basic mechanism of the process through suitable illustrations.
