In this study, the ultra-smooth surface of Inconel 625 workpieces were achieved by 40000-RPM grade magnetic abrasive polishing (MAP) process. This process created the high rotational speed of workpiece and the movement of magnetic pole to produce the polishing action of magnetic abrasive tools on the surface of Inconel 625 workpieces. The input parameters used in this experiment were selected as the rotational speed of workpiece (40000 rpm), movement of magnetic poles (Feed rate: 2 mm/sec), grain size of abrasive tool (PCD abrasive: 1- ㎛), magnetic poles (A-shape, B-shape, and C-shape) and the polishing times (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 min). The results of this study showed that the smooth surface of Inconel 625 bar was achieved, which the surface roughness of Inconel 625 were significantly improved from 0.33 μm to 0.03 μm within 10 min of the polishing time via B-shape of magnetic poles. This can be confirmed that the 40000-RPM grade MAP processing method is an effective process to achieve high surface quality of Inconel 625 workpieces.

In this work the multiple moving magnetic abrasive machining (MAM) process was used to polish the surface of spherical bar that is the components that widely used in many applications such aerospace, medical implantation, and the mechanical engineering industries. The smooth surface of spherical ball plays an important role for improving the lifespan, durability, and functionality of the components. In. Therefore, the moving MAM process was fabricated to achieve high quality surface of the spherical ball sample. This process used the multiple moving actions of the machining tools for polishing the surface sample. The experiments used in this work was set as the rotational speed of sample (50, 120, and 250 rpm), movement of machining tools (X-axis: 12 mm/sec, Y-axis: 12 mm/sec), and the polishing times (0, 2, 4, 6, 8 min). The results demonstrated that within 6 min of the polishing time the surface roughness of sample was significantly reduced from 0.29 μm to 0.02 μm under the polishing action of machining abrasive tool (size: 1-μm). This can be concluded that the multiple moving MAM process is an effective method to achieve high surface quality of sample with extremely low surface roughness (Ra).

This research investigates into using a highly efficient magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) method to refine the surface of an Inconel 625 bar intended for use as a stem in a hydrogen solenoid valve. In contrast to the previous choice of STS 316 material, Inconel 625 was selected due to its superior properties. The cylindrical surface of Inconel 625 bars underwent polishing using the super-fast MAF process, employing varying rotational speeds ranging from 1000 to 25,000 RPM and a potent magnetic field of 550 mT. The study evaluated the polishing outcomes concerning abrasive type, rotational speeds, and processing duration. The results demonstrated the achievement of an exceptionally smooth surface on the Inconel 625 bar, with the surface roughness (Ra) reduced significantly, reaching 0.03 μm under optimal conditions. These conditions included employing carbon nanotube (CNT) particles of 0.04g, PCD diamond abrasive of 1g, Fe of 9g, 0.5g of light oil, and a processing time of 16 minutes at 15,000 RPM. Furthermore, Ansys analysis confirmed the mechanical integrity of the polished Inconel 625 bar, exhibiting suitable strain, equivalent stress, and safety factors. This substantiates the feasibility of employing Inconel 625 bars in hydrogen tanks, surpassing the conventional STS 316L bars.
