Abstract
This work aims to provide an experimental investigation into metal removal and micro-hardness through the Magnetic Abrasive Finishing process (MAF) and study the impact of some process parameters (feed rate, coil current, and spindle speed) on these responses with (1008-AISI) workpieces and spherical electromagnetic tool based on Taguchi design of the experiment using Minitab 17 software. The results show that metal removal was strongly affected by the feed rate, while the strongly influential variable on micro-hardness was the coil current. The highest value of metal removal rate is achievable at conditions 10 mm/min, 2.5 A, and 700 RPM for feed rate, coil current, and spindle speed respectively.
