Fine Finishing of Round Flat Surfaces with Magnetic Abrasives. The difficult to machine materials subjected to conventional method lead to many limitations like lack of accuracy, wear of tools, micro cracks, surface distortion etc. To overcome the problems associated with the conventional methods, the non ¿ conventional methods were developed. These processes are capable to machine and finish any type of intricate shapes with the desired accuracies, up to micro and nanometer scale. Magnetic Abrasive Finishing Process (MAF) is relatively new advanced finishing process when compared with other finishing methods like buffing, lapping etc. Literature survey reveals that MAF process is becoming popular and have a lots of applications in finishing, deburring of different type of products like medical instruments, semiconductor parts, capillary tubes, sanitary tubes, atomic energy parts, aerospace parts, ball bearing, wave guides, vacuum tubes, deburring of drilled holes, micro deburring of precision parts of cutting tools used in cutting of hard materials like titanium alloy.
