 | | As exemplified by a line of MRF machines sold by QED Technologies, Inc., of Rochester, NY, the MRF process is capable of rapidly polishing out and figuring a variety of materials from 10 mm to 400 mm in diameter. |
 | | The key to MRF is a ribbon of abrasive-doped magnetic fluid that moves over a wheel and into contact with the surface of a spindle-mounted, rotating part. |
 | | We concentrate on how MRF may be improved through experiments to better understand the relationship between MR fluid composition and the following: rheology in and out of a magnetic field, stability, material removal, the polishing process, and the quality of the finished part. |
