Review on mechanical finishing process

One of the most significant aspects of precision devices is surface quality. Engineering items with poor surface quality have a variety of issues during operation, including malfunctioning, excessive wear, geometric inaccuracy, and so on. The majority of a product's surface quality is established throughout the manufacturing process. Finishing small precision devices using the typical fishing method is not a versatile or cost-effective alternative. One of the most important needs in varied, finished components is the needed finish/texture, which can be achieved using traditional machining operations such as grinding, lapping, polishing, and super finishing. After the components are machined, industries spend a lot of money to acquire the desired finish and texture. This will necessitate the use of advanced non-traditional finishing techniques. Abrasive Flow Machining (AFM) is a non-traditional finishing method that uses a semi-solid medium made up of a visco-elastic polymer and abrasive particles that are blended in a certain proportion. Magnetorheological fluid assisted finishing techniques are one type of finishing procedure that offers more control over the process and allows for fine tolerances and no damage to the surface topography.
