Study on the Motion Characteristics of Abrasive Media in Vibratory Finishing

In order to investigate the motion characteristics of the abrasive media in the vibratory finishing, the RecurDyn and EDEM coupled simulation method is employed. The simulation results show that the trajectories of the abrasive media are annular spiral motions in general, including a circular motion about the central axis of the vibratory finishing machine and an elliptical motion around the center of the media flow. The reliability of the RecurDyn-EDEM coupled simulation for the vibratory surface finishing process is validated by X-ray real-time detection, which has significance in better understanding of the motion characteristics of abrasive media and the optimal design of the vibratory surface finishing processes.
