A process Model for Force-controlled Honing Simulations

The selection of process parameter values for honing operations is challenging since their effect on the resulting surface characteristics is difficult to predict. With the right settings, the finishing operations can reduce surface roughness values, enhance the shape accuracy of bores and shafts, and create surface topographies with improved functional properties.In this paper, a model for honing operations based on microscopic scans of tool topographies is presented. The model allows the simulation of material removal during the process by taking force-controlled honing operations into account.Video abstract To view the video inline, enable JavaScript on your browser.
