| Summary: | Lapping is possible to produce excellent surface finish with higher geometrical form. Additionally, automated lapping process is perfectly suited with today’s industry requirements and also economically advantage over other manufacturing processes. This research is devoted to study the characteristics of the lapping process for mirror-like surface finishing by using the linear motor lathe. In the process of mirror-like finish, various factors that effect on rate of material removal, limit surface roughness and geometrical form improvement were examined on low, medium and high hardness materials by series of experiments. The conclusion shows that active grain characteristics, hardness ratio, lapping pressure, lapping speed, residual stress and chatter vibration on the work surfaces all have influenced on the mirror-like surface finishing process. |
