Abstract

We investigated the polishing effect of magnetic polishing liquid (MPL) made of abrasive particles and a newly developed magnetic responsive fluid, magnetic compound fluid (MCF) as intelligent or smart fluid. By applying steady and fluctuating magnetic fields, we investigated the polishing effects of the magnetic fields, varying the kinds of polishing material and the components of the MPL. In order to explain the cause of the experimental results, we investigated the apparent viscosity of the MCF and MPL, and used microscopic to investigate behavior of the particles in the MCF and MPL. We clarified the mechanisms governing the polishing effects through the use of a model based on the observation of the particles.
