Abrasive media viscosity regulation in abrasive flow finishing of additively manufactured waveguides: balancing boss surface smoothing and edge profile retention
This study demonstrates that regulating abrasive media viscosity to the 2000–2500 Pa·s range in abrasive flow finishing of additively manufactured waveguides effectively balances boss surface smoothing and edge profile retention by reducing edge removal and improving machining uniformity while maintaining a surface roughness reduction rate above 70%.
