Abstract

The magnetic compound fluid (MCF) polishing process is a precision finishing method that has been applied to a large variety of materials, from soft optical polymers to hard ceramics. The purpose of this study is to extend the working life of MCF slurry. In this paper, we focus on the drying phenomenon of MCF slurry during polishing, and we develop a new water supply system that uses an ultrasonic atomization mechanism. This system can moisturize the MCF polishing area locally. Polishing experiments involving supplying water to MCF slurry are carried out, and extending the working life of MCF slurry is discussed.
