| description | Vibratory finishing is a versatile process that is used
in many industries globally for radiusing, brightening,
deburring, fine finishing, cleaning, burnishing, and descaling
of components. This state-of-the-art paper will discuss how
vibratory finishing has evolved into what it is today and the
advancements in technology. The development of mass
finishing, the importance of vibratory finishing in aviation
industry, the parameters involved in this process, and the patent
landscape of the advancements in vibratory finishing will
be elucidated. More importantly, the paper will dwell into
attempts made to understand the science behind this arcane
process. Empirical investigations, model developments, bulk
and granular impact velocity studies, vibrostrengthening, and
Almen strip characterization are the research efforts that will
be discussed in particular. This work has identified gaps in the
vibratory finishing process, some of them being media flow
measurement and the need for a monitoring system to determine
the frequency losses from motor vibrations to the media
vibrations. Methods for calculating the frequency and amplitude
of machine vibrations, the impact velocity of media, and
the force of media striking the workpiece are still under research.
Literature points out that more work can be done in
terms of the quantification of process parameters, the relationship
between them, and the effect they have on the surface
finish. The industry is on the lookout for shorter cycle times
with improved surface finishing quality, and thus various technological
advancements in vibratory finishing, namely drag
and spindle finishing, have come into existence. To the knowledge
of the authors, there has been no comprehensive review
work done on vibratory finishing. This paper attempts to serve
the purpose of being a one-stop academic and industrial reference
for scientific communities and professionals working
in this field. The paper further endeavors to serve as a means
to initiate the development of a next generation vibratory
finishing system with real-time monitoring and surface finish
measurements. |
