Non-abrasive Finishing of Mating Surfaces of Machine Parts Using Mixed Techniques with Electromagnetic Fields Application

In various branches of mechanical engineering, faucets, valves, gate valves and other shut-off devices are manufactured and used. Their main purpose is to regulate the flow rate and direction of flows of liquid and gas media. Features of such products in the aerospace and petrochemical engineering are special strict requirements due to the specificity of their operation. These include, for example, high pressure, resistance to aggressive, fire-and explosive environments, leaks of which are unacceptable according to safety rules and environmental legislation. The design of such products, as a rule, assumes high requirements for accuracy and roughness, especially at the interface of parts, high strength in case of impact pulse effects of the fluids in them. To ensure the above characteristics, finishing abrasive treatment is most commonly used, which can result in the effect of impregnation of the surfaces of products, which will negatively affect the useful life and performance indicators of the mating surfaces. At the same time, it is obvious that mechanical finishing without any use of abrasives is extremely difficult and time-consuming. The authors of the article suggest elimination of the negative effect of impregnation by means of mixed machining techniques with the application of electromagnetic fields.
Purpose. The purpose of the work is to develop a technology for non-abrasive finishing of machine parts by developing a model that allows selection or calculation of the production modes of gapless mating parts of locking devices applied in various industries.
Methods. The method of the research is the use of the scientific basis of mixed machining techniques, the theory of mass transfer in electrical machining, the fundamental foundations of mechanical engineering technology, modern methods for studying characteristics at the final stages of machining, modern measuring tools, special technological equipment, as well as computer technologies.
Results. As a result of the research, new technique and devices were developed. This made it possible to implement a non-abrasive finishing operation of the mating surfaces of parts made of metal materials, the processing of which by mechanical methods is difficult.
Conclusion. As a result of the conducted research, it became possible to obtain high-quality high-resource gapless locking products and to reduce labor intensity of the finishing operation up to 5 times and preparation for the production up to 2 times.
