Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to research the polishing technology for inner walls of microtubes and capillaries having complex shapes by magnetic field control utilizing new high functional fluid (MCF) which is mixed magnetic fluid with MR fluid. In this method, an MCF containing nonmagnetic abrasive grains is allowed to pass through a tube, and a rotating magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the tube axis. The results of this study can be summarized as follows; (1) Characteristics of polishing: We investigated the effects of the composition of fluids containing abrasive grains and the magnetic field distribution on the polishing of the inner tube wall without the fluid effect. The polishing characteristics are affected by the concentration and the diameter of the abrasive grains, and the concentration of the iron powder. (2) Mechanism of polishing: The mechanism of inner tube wall polished by an MCF was clarified by observing the behavior of the abrasive grains and measuring the pressure distribution on the inner tube wall. The radial force of magnetic clusters formed at the midpoint between the elect : nodes and at the region furthest from the central axis acts on the abrasive grains to produce the force for this polishing. (3) Basic experiment for polishing inner wall with a step and polishing by flowing In the polishing, we filled the MCF involved abrasive particles in the inner acrylic resin tubes with different roughness. We clarified that the position of the scratch and the motion direction of the abrasive particles are important on the finishing the inner tube by the present polishing method Moreover, it was confirmed this polishing method is able to polish up to nanometer order (4) Trial of polishing system Polishing system for the inner walls of microtubes was made experimentally by flowing the MCF by a diaphragm pump.
