Study surfaces produced by mass finishing Understand the basic mechanisms we have determined the normal forces between a surface and a sample mass finishing media Study how the surface produced by mass finishing effects the shininess of the surface.
OBJECTIVE
BEL AIR FMSL 22
CENTRIFUGAL DISC FINISHER
Al 6061-T6 Polished Al Surfaces to a mirror. Obtained a Vickers Hardness value of the surface Mass Finished with abrasive media for 30 s. Measured the depths of the scratches Calculated the normal force
EXPERIMENT, SCRATCH DEBTHS
POLISHED SURFACE (100X)
EXAMPLE SCRATCH (50X)
EQUATION USED FOR FORCE CALC

MICRO SPECTROPHOTOMETER
Turned Al 6061-T6 @ 0.05mm/rev @ 2000 rpm (~3.94 in/min) Took measurements of surface on confocal microscope Mass Finished for 30s, 1 min, 4min, 10 min, 30 min, & 60 min taking measurements of the surface at each time interval Also, measurements were taken with the spectrophotometer

3D GRAPH OF AREA SCALE, WAVELENGTH, AND CORRELATION
Best correlations found at 405 nm and a scale of ~2μm2 This Wavelength of light is the same used in the confocal microscope’s laser
▪ Unsure of significance of this finding
Correlations drop off significantly after ~450 nm and again at ~600 nm
