Centrifugal Iso-finishing for Additive Manufactured PartsDDaveDavidson
Centrifugal Iso-Finishing is a high-energy, high-quality, high-speed hands-free mechanical method for deburring, finishing and polishing of 3D printed (additive manufactured) parts as well as coventional subtractive manufactured parts. High Centrifugal force is utilized to accelerated process cycle times and make use of smaller dimensioned media to access intricate and complex part shapes. Useful for hand-deburring minimization and for developing low-micro-inch polished surfaces. Centrifugal Iso-Burnishing can be used for developing compressive stress in part surfaces on the order of that achieved by shot peening making parts much more resistant to fatigue failure or fracture. Plateaud or planarized surfaces improve bearing load capacity of cooperating parts with more wear resistance and improved tribological properties.

Advance machining processes are used where higher accuracy and surface finish is required. One of them, Abrasive jet machining is a non-traditional machining process in which a high-pressure air stream and abrasive particles impinge on a work surface through a nozzle. Abrasive jet machining (AJM) removes material through the action of a focused beam of abrasive jet directed at the workpiece the resulting erosion can be used for cutting, drilling and debarring etc. With the increase of needs for machining of ceramics, semiconductors, electronic devices and L.C.D., AJM has become a useful technique for micromachining. it is more useful in industries for precision work. Material removal rate during this process affected by different parameters like abrasive particle size, the velocity of abrasive flow rate, gas pressure, standoff distance etc.
GMT started manufacturing lapping & polishing machine in 1971. It was built for in-house use and until then hand lapping process was used for finishing surface plates. Critical parts for our workholding devices required a finishing and buffing machine. There was demand in the market for valve lapping and lapping plates. Since GMT had a captive ferrous foundry, castings for lap plate and lapping machine were easier to source.
Since then GMT has become one of India's largest lapping machine manufacturers and suppliers with over 350 installations throughout India mainly to the valve and pump industry. When a buyer in Japan wanted a super finishing machine for lapping large granite plates, GMT designed and supplied a 3000mm dia flat lapping machine.

INTRODUCTION: The Turbo-Finish process (also referred to as Turbo-Abrasive Machining )imparts beneficial compressive residual stress to edges and surfaces. and as all critical features of the part are processed simultaneously, it can produce a stress equilibrium throughout the entire part. One of the signature advantages of the process is that it is capable of producing peening like metal surface improvement effects, while simultaneously developing isotropic surfaces and deburring and edge-contouring sharp edged features This combination of edge and surface effects can help extend part life on components by mitigating crack propagation.

Turbo-Finish and premature fatigue failure prevention and life extension. Turbo-Finish’s unique ability to produce isotropic surfaces on rotating parts can make them much less susceptible to problems associated with crack propagation. Additionally, the elimination of stress risers, and the generation of round edges are used to help extend component life. Rotating parts can especially benefit from the Turbo-Finish process. Disks and other rotating parts can all benefit from this surface and edge conditioning. Highly finished surfaces also tend to pick up less residual contaminants from operations. and smooth isotropic surfaces generate less turbulent air flow across their surfaces. Additionally, the Turbo-Finish process imparts beneficial compressive residual stress. As critical features of the part are processed simultaneously, it can produce a stress equilibrium throughout the entire part. One of the signature advantages of the process is that it is capable of producing peening like metal surface improvement effects, while simultaneously developing isotropic surfaces and deburring and edge-contouring sharp edged features
Mass media finishing techniques improve part performance and service life, and these processes can be tailored or modified to amplify this effect. Although the ability of these processes to drive down deburring and surface finishing costs when compared to manual procedures is well known and documented, their ability to dramatically effect part performance and service life are not. This facet of edge and surface finishing deserves closer scrutiny and this is also true of larger and more complex parts – only more so

A High-Speed, High-Energy Alternative
Centrifugal iso-finishing is a high-speed and high-intensity
mass finishing method in which abrasive or polishing materials are caused to interact with part edges and surfaces
with 10 times the surface pressure of low-energy finishing
methods. What this means, in practical terms, is that it is
possible to produce very refined surface finishes in abbreviated process cycle times. It also means that parts with
complex and detailed geometries can be deburred with a
minimum of manual intervention.

It's the Finish that Counts. Technical Magazine article reprint.Dave Davidson
A conventionally produced surface (turned, milled,
ground, EDM) is typically Gaussian in nature, that is,
the peak and valley distribution is pretty much equal
in height. This type of surface can be very unstable and
unpredictable when wear and load bearing are considered. The images in Figure 1 demonstrate this type of
surface.
There are many ways to produce plateaued surfaces.
They are varied in approach but all have the ability to
control the surface peak characteristics separately for
the valley characteristics. Methods that are used to improve surfaces for performance and increased service life include centrifugal barrel finishing, turbo-abrasive machining (aka Turbo-Finish) and isotropic micro-finishing with vibratory finishing equipment.

An Approach to Detecting Writing Styles Based on Clustering Techniquesambekarshweta25
An Approach to Detecting Writing Styles Based on Clustering Techniques
Authors:
-Devkinandan Jagtap
-Shweta Ambekar
-Harshit Singh
-Nakul Sharma (Assistant Professor)
Institution:
VIIT Pune, India
Abstract:
This paper proposes a system to differentiate between human-generated and AI-generated texts using stylometric analysis. The system analyzes text files and classifies writing styles by employing various clustering algorithms, such as k-means, k-means++, hierarchical, and DBSCAN. The effectiveness of these algorithms is measured using silhouette scores. The system successfully identifies distinct writing styles within documents, demonstrating its potential for plagiarism detection.
Introduction:
Stylometry, the study of linguistic and structural features in texts, is used for tasks like plagiarism detection, genre separation, and author verification. This paper leverages stylometric analysis to identify different writing styles and improve plagiarism detection methods.
Methodology:
The system includes data collection, preprocessing, feature extraction, dimensional reduction, machine learning models for clustering, and performance comparison using silhouette scores. Feature extraction focuses on lexical features, vocabulary richness, and readability scores. The study uses a small dataset of texts from various authors and employs algorithms like k-means, k-means++, hierarchical clustering, and DBSCAN for clustering.
Results:
Experiments show that the system effectively identifies writing styles, with silhouette scores indicating reasonable to strong clustering when k=2. As the number of clusters increases, the silhouette scores decrease, indicating a drop in accuracy. K-means and k-means++ perform similarly, while hierarchical clustering is less optimized.
Conclusion and Future Work:
The system works well for distinguishing writing styles with two clusters but becomes less accurate as the number of clusters increases. Future research could focus on adding more parameters and optimizing the methodology to improve accuracy with higher cluster values. This system can enhance existing plagiarism detection tools, especially in academic settings.

Online aptitude test management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The purpose of on-line aptitude test system is to take online test in an efficient manner and no time wasting for checking the paper. The main objective of on-line aptitude test system is to efficiently evaluate the candidate thoroughly through a fully automated system that not only saves lot of time but also gives fast results. For students they give papers according to their convenience and time and there is no need of using extra thing like paper, pen etc. This can be used in educational institutions as well as in corporate world. Can be used anywhere any time as it is a web based application (user Location doesn’t matter). No restriction that examiner has to be present when the candidate takes the test.
Every time when lecturers/professors need to conduct examinations they have to sit down think about the questions and then create a whole new set of questions for each and every exam. In some cases the professor may want to give an open book online exam that is the student can take the exam any time anywhere, but the student might have to answer the questions in a limited time period. The professor may want to change the sequence of questions for every student. The problem that a student has is whenever a date for the exam is declared the student has to take it and there is no way he can take it at some other time. This project will create an interface for the examiner to create and store questions in a repository. It will also create an interface for the student to take examinations at his convenience and the questions and/or exams may be timed. Thereby creating an application which can be used by examiners and examinee’s simultaneously.
Examination System is very useful for Teachers/Professors. As in the teaching profession, you are responsible for writing question papers. In the conventional method, you write the question paper on paper, keep question papers separate from answers and all this information you have to keep in a locker to avoid unauthorized access. Using the Examination System you can create a question paper and everything will be written to a single exam file in encrypted format. You can set the General and Administrator password to avoid unauthorized access to your question paper. Every time you start the examination, the program shuffles all the questions and selects them randomly from the database, which reduces the chances of memorizing the questions.

Process Principles
Part 3 - Additive Manufactured
Part Applications
Part 4 - What about other parts?
3. Part 1
What is Mass
Finishing?
• Mass finishing is a term used to
describe a group of abrasive industrial
processes by which large lots of parts
or components made from metal or
other materials can be economically
processed (edge or surface finished) in
bulk.
• All mass finishing processes utilize a
loose or free abrasive material referred
to as media within a container or
chamber of some sort. Energy is
imparted to the abrasive media mass
by a variety of means to impart motion
to it and to cause it to rub or wear
away at part surfaces.
4. What edge and
surface effects
can be
created?
• This processing is performed to achieve one or several
of a variety of edge and surface effects:
(1) Edge effects: Deburring, edge-break, radius
formation
(2) Surface effects: removal of surface contaminants
from heat treat and other processes, pre-plate, pre-
paint or coating surface preparation, blending in
surface irregularities from machining or fabricating
operations, producing reflective surfaces with
nonabrasive burnishing media, refining surfaces,
developing super-finish or micro-finish equivalent
surface profiles, developing compressive stress with
burnishing media to improve fatigue or wear
resistance, smoothing rough-cast or 3D Printed
Parts, improve isotropicity, promote negatively
skewed surface profiles for cooperating parts,
minimizing hand-deburring operations
5. Why Mass
Finishing?
• Nearly all manufactured parts or
components require some measure of
surface refinement prior to final assembly,
or the final finish or coating required to
make the parts acceptable to the
consumer or end-user.
• Most manufacturing companies who
employ mass finishing techniques do so
because of the economic advantages to be
obtained, especially when compared with
manual deburring and surface finishing
techniques.
• Mass finishing processes often reduce or
eliminate many procedures that are labor-
intensive and require extensive part
handling.
6. Mass
Finishing
Versatility
Although each of the mass finishing process types
carries with it a unique set of process strengths and
weaknesses, all of them are sufficiently versatile to be
able to process a wide variety of part types
successfully.
A plethora of abrasive media types, sizes, and shapes
makes it possible, in many cases, to achieve very
different results within the same equipment, ranging
from heavy grinding and radiusing to final finishing.
Components from almost every conceivable type of
material have been surface conditioned using mass
finishing techniques including ferrous and nonferrous
metals, plastics, composition materials, ceramics, and
even wood.
7. Mass
Finishing
Cautions
Despite the immense versatility of these types of processes, some
potential process limitations should be noted. It can be difficult to
selectively treat certain part areas to the exclusion of other areas,
which might have critical dimensional tolerance requirements. Unless
masked or fixtured, all exterior areas of the part will be affected by
the process to a greater or lesser degree, with effects on corners and
edges being more pronounced than those on flat areas, and with
interior holes, channels, and recesses being relatively unaffected in
the more common processes.
Care must be exercised in media size, shape selection, and
maintenance to prevent media lodging in holes and recesses, which
might require labor-intensive manual removal. Some parts have
shapes, sizes, or weights that may preclude them from being finished
in some mass finishing processes because of the risk of impingement
from part-on-part contact or of nesting due to certain features of the
parts interlocking together when in proximity. Additionally, most
processes that use water in conjunction with the abrasive media
create an effluent stream, which must be treated prior to discharge
into a municipal sewage or another disposal.
8. Mass
Finishing
Equipment
One of the more obvious factors influencing mass finishing processes
is equipment selection. There are five major equipment groups as
follows, two of these are low energy methods, two are high-energy
and one is dependent on part fixturing and is considered a high
energy method variant.
Barrel, vibratory, centrifugal barrel, centrifugal disk, and spin/spindle
finishing.
The first four groups are primarily used with parts immersed within a
body of abrasive media and are capable of some independent
movement within that mass. On occasion, fixturing or some
processing segmentation may be used to isolate delicate or critical
parts from each other. Part-on-part contact may also be minimized by
using higher media-to-part ratio combinations. Common media-to-
part ratios for noncritical parts run anywhere from 1:1 to 1:4 by
volume. Parts with a higher need for cushioning and protection may
utilize media/part ratios as high as 10:1 to 15:1.
9. Mass Finishing
– Part of the
Manufacturing
Process
Much time and money can be saved both in mass finishing
process operations and in process development if finishing
considerations are given sufficient weight at the design,
production, and quality control stages. Although it is a rule
more breached than observed, it should be noted that
mass finishing processes are not, and were never intended
to be, methods for rectifying errors made in earlier stages
of the manufacturing process.
It should be equally obvious that processes developed for
parts made with tools and dies that are sharp will
no longer produce the same results when that tooling
becomes dull. Mass finishing processes can produce
remarkably uniform results if process parameters are
followed carefully, but this assumes some measure of
uniformity of surface condition for a given part within a lot,
and from lot-to-lot, as received in the finishing area.
10. Part 2 - Centrifugal Iso-
Finishing Principles:
Equipment and
Operations
How does it work?
Machinery
Abrasive and Polishing Media
Processes
11. CC
• Centrifugal Iso-Finishing Technology operation is
similar to the operation of a "Ferris Wheel" but
this Ferris wheel operates at high rotational
speed with the turret swinging the barrels
around its periphery while the barrels counter-
rotate at high speed.
• This motion imparts high centrifugal force to
the parts and media in the processing
chambers. Finishing and polishing work is
performed 10 times faster than conventional
low-energy finishing equipment. On many parts,
single-digit micro-inch Ra surface finishes can
be achieved.
12. Why Both Wet
and Dry
Processing?
• This composite shot shows the interior of a centrifugal barrel finishing machine,
showing a barrel with parts, plastic media and liquid compound to the left, and dry
polishing granules to the right. Once the parts have been smoothed sufficiently
they will be removed from the wet processing compartment and moved to another
compartment with dry polishing.
• Burnishing processes use small heavy non-abrasive media to produce burnished
surfaces. Burnished surfaces have a less polished appearance but develop useful
beneficial compressive stress on the order of shot peening, but without the
undesirable positively skewed surface that shot-peening leaves behind.

acidic accelerant compounds containing oxalic acid, maleic acid or similar material
with non-abrasive media. Outer layer is oxidized with surface peaks and asperities
incrementally removed as processing progresses.
(3) Bel Air: Vendor utilizes a variety of finishing methods, including drag finishing,
centrifugal disc, vibratory and cbf.
(4) Centrifugal Iso-Finishing. Three steps, 3D parts are typically processed (1) Heavy
abrasive smoothing: 1.5-2 hours. (2) Fine smoothing: 30 minutes (3) Final dry
polishing: 30 minutes. Cycle times vary with alloy and part geometry.
(5) Micro-tek: Primarily an unconventional electro-chemical or electro-polishing
technique. Available as a contract finishing service only.
31. Centrifugal Iso-
Finishing
Equipment
• Standard Machine models vary in
capacity from 1.4 cubic feet (40
liters) to 12 cubic feet (330) liters.
• All machine models feature a four
barrel configuration.
• Differing processes can be run in
the machine at the same time.
Typically process A would be run
in barrel numbers 1 and 3, while
process B would be run in barrels
2 and 4 to assure that the machine
is being operated in a balanced
condition.
32. Newly Designed Model HZ-85 used widely in the medical and
aerospace industries for super-finishing and polishing critical parts
33. Equipment
Size and
Configuration
There are two major equipment
families in the machinery line.
(1) Six-inch diameter machines for
processing small to moderately
sized parts.
(2) Twelve-inch diameter machines
for processing large parts and
larger batch volumes of parts

38. Part 4 -What about conventional
or subtractive manufactured part
finishing?
• Centrifugal Iso-Finishing
often performs deburring,
finishing and polishing
functions 10 times faster
than conventional low
energy methods.
• Centrifugal force presses
media against edges and
surfaces with 10 G’s where
conventional finishing
systems are 1 G systems only
• This centrifugal pressure
produces beneficial
compressive stress in some
cases on the order of that
produced by shot peening
but with much more refined
isotropic surfaces
