Abstract of the report. International MultiConference of Engineers and Computers Scientists IMECS 2011. – 2011. – Vol. 2 – P. 1248-1254.Title in Russian: Optimization of parameters and development of a prediction model for the second generation of magnetic abrasive polishing of AZ31B plate.Abstract in English:
A conventional magnetic abrasive polishing (MAP) is not suitable for non-magnetic materials. The system with a electro-magnet array table installed under the working area of the non-magnetic material, which is called second generation MAP in this study, can help to enhance the magnetic
force. Experimental evaluation and optimization of process parameters for MAP of AZ31B plate that is one of the non-magnetic materials were performed by a design of experiments and the response surface method. As a result, it is indicated that magnetic force intensity of magnetic table and spindle speed of inductor were significant parameters on improvement of surface roughness in the second generation MAP process. Therefore, prediction model of surface roughness was developed using second-order response surface method and signal to noise ratio.
