Honing is a process for finishing surfaces to obtain smooth surface. This process is used for final polish of inner parts such as engines cylinders. Optimizing this process has always been a big challenge for mass production of cylinder blocks of internal combustion engines. Honing process has some variable parameters, thus to get their optimum rates the automobile cylinders were tested. In this research, experiment design was done using Taguchi method and to make input constant parameters of the test consistence, cylinder was bored using boring machine and in the next phase, cylinder was honed according to the design of experiment. Abrasive particles were selected from the material of carbide silicone stone and the variable parameters considered in this test were tangential speed, grain size, and the number of tools course. In order to measure surface quality of each cylinder, roughness tester machine was used and surface quality considered as output parameters of machining. Then, the results of the test were studied and analyzed on software environment. According to the tests conducted, the optimum values of mesh stone of honing and optimum values of numbers related to the course number and rotation were identified on the best state. پرونده مقاله

In magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF), abrasive grains as a tool move on surface and can remove chip from surface of work piece. In this study AL 6061 tube was considered as the work piece and the effect of finishing parameters such as gap distance between tube and poles, rotational speed of tube, abrasive ration and finishing time on surface roughness was investigated. The mixture of ferromagnetic grits (Fe) and Al2O3 grains was considered as the abrasives. The result showed increasing in rotational speed, finishing time and abrasive grains up to certain value decreases surface roughness and increasing in air gap increases surface roughness. پرونده مقاله

A high strength nickel chromium alloy (50Cr-50Ni-Nb alloy), commonly referred to as IN-657, is specifically used for components in furnaces which are fired by low grade fuel oils containing high levels of vanadium, sodium and sulphur. The purpose of this study is to experimentally investigatethe effect of machining parameters on machinability in turning of Inconel 657. The considered parameters were cutting speed, feed and tool material. Cutting force components, tool flank wear and surface roughness were measuredbased on design of experiments, and then analysis of variance was performed. Experimental results show that tool wear of CBN tools is 50 %lower than that of carbide tools. The Tool material with percentage contribution of 48% and 56% is the main parameter that influencesthe cutting forces and the flank wear, respectively. Also, the cutting speed with percentage contribution of 48% is the main parameter that effects the surface roughness. The lowest surface roughness is attained by the cutting speed of 250 m/min and the feed of 0.05 mm/rev by the CBN tool. پرونده مقاله
