Abstract

Abrasive flow machining is a non-traditional finishing method to smooth or glossy made metal components utilizing a semi-liquid paste which consists an abrasive particle in a definite proportion and in which complex or miniaturised parts demanding high surface finish can be economically produced.In this process, the media is extruded backward and forward over the surface with the assistance of the pre-defined hydraulic pressure.In this paper a hydraulic circuit for two-way AFM has been developed and testing of the hydraulic circuit has been done on an actual machine.It ensured a simple,reliable,error free fittings and cost effective circuit and also reduce the experimentation duration
