Nano Finishing of Orthopedic Implant Plates Using Abrasive Flow Machining

This paper explores the application of Abrasive Flow Machining (AFM) as an innovative technique to enhance the finishing process of fracture plate implants. The study aims to deepen the understanding of AFM machining dynamics, optimize process parameters, and assess the effectiveness of AFM through advanced modeling and simulation. The major contributions include detailed simulation frameworks and validation through practical applications on SS316L implants, highlighting AFM’s effectiveness in achieving high-precision finishes essential for biomedical applications.
