Abstract

Abrasive flow machining (AFM) is a non-conventional machining which is used to polish, deburr and radius surfaces & edges. It
forces a semisolid abrasive-laden called “media” to pass through or across the surface of the work piece to be finished. Many
researchers provided different optimized parameters for different materials. In present case EN-31 material was taken for getting
the optimum parameters using abrasive flow machining. In this experimental study parameters like abrasive size, number of cycle
and pressure were varied. L9 orthogonal array based on Taguchi method was used for experiments. Experimental results shows
that abrasive size have the highest contribution (89.96%) towards the surface quality improvement.
