Rotary ultrasonic-assisted abrasive flow finishing and its fundamental performance in Al6061 machining

The geometric complexity of 3D-printed parts increases the difficulty of surface finishing with the conventional grinding technique. In this study, a rotary ultrasonic-assisted abrasive flow finishing (RUA-AFF) method is proposed towards improving the performance of the AFF process by providing rota...
