Precision Honing of Stainless Steel Valve Core

The paper reports an experimental study on the effect of honing parameters on the honing surface roughness, material removal rate and surface topography. A cylindrical honing machine was developed, on which the honing experiments for stainless steel cylinder parts were performed with different honing parameters including the abrasives and its grit size of honing stones, honing pressure and honing time. The results can provide helpful instruction to the determination of the honing process and parameters.
