ABSTRACT: Abrasive Flow Machining (AFM), which can be applied to deburr, polish or radius surfaces
and edges, is one of the most widely used abrasive-based surface finishing techniques. AFM is suitable for
polishing anywhere that air, liquid, or fuel flows. Researchers have been exploring the ways to improve AFM
process performance by analysing the different factors that affect the quality characteristics. The experimental
and theoretical studies show that
