Abstract
Abrasive flow machining (AFM) is the non-conventional process used to finish the workpiece surface internally to geta micro-level finish. The aim of our study to explore the new area of application by design manufacture and evaluation of the developed system for the function of cleaning the internal passes. The study is carried out on AFM, how their parameter affects the process like abrasive concentration, size, type of carrier, size workpiece etc. As per our requirement, the design is carried out.
The right-handed single screw extruder type abrasive flow machining system was designed that is cost-effective and can be operated by the tractor. For the cleaning process, a cost-effective media is used and manually prepared using the mixing of garnet sand as abrasive and SBR or clay as a carrier. The performance process is evaluated by using a different kind of media and workpiece. Time consumption of processing, fuel consumption, cost of rust removal, effect on the environment, effect of the process parameteretc evaluated and compare with standard AFM processing.Overall, an effort is made to explore the area of the abrasive flow machining application
