Abstract

Magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) is a micro cutting process that uses magnetic field and magnetic abrasive particles to behavior the mechanism of material removal in micro-nanometer scales. One of the disadvantages of this process is low material removal rate, in this work, by an experimental method and statistical software analysis, the influence of input variable parameters like current, percent weight of abrasives, working gap and feed rate, on the flat surfaces  of  aluminum 1050 Plate work piece were investigated on material removal. The results of this study show that the feed rate most a significant  influence on the improvement of the material removal, it has been indicated that in vitro material removal improved 75%. The mathematical model quality sufficient and is very acceptable or satisfactory as the Coefficient of  Determination (R2) is found to be 98.20% and adjusted R2-statistic (R2 adj ) 96.50%.
