Course Description

In this free online course, you will learn about the working principles and material removal mechanisms of various abrasive machining and finishing processes. The course starts by introducing you to manufacturing and abrasive particles and grinding processes. The course examines the use of grinding fluids, their adverse effects and biodegradation. You will learn about honing, lapping and superfinishing.

Next, you will be introduced to vibratory bowl finishing, ice-bonded abrasive polishing and how surface roughness can be measured. Further in the course, you are introduced to the electric discharge diamond grinding process, electrochemical machining, and electrochemical grinding. The course then teaches you about abrasive flow finishing, magnetic abrasive finishing and magnetic abrasive deburring.

Finally, the magnetorheological finishing and magnetorheological abrasive flow finishing processes are examined. This course will be of interest to students of industrial and manufacturing engineering, or those looking to learn more about how manufactured products and materials are machined and finished.
