Unbounded magnetic abrasives have been used in magnetic abrasive polishing because of low cost. However, these magnetic abrasives show machining efficiency in the negative, especially in a case of application in lower-permeability materials, since abrasives could easily break away from magnetic field according to increase of spindle speed. To solve this problem, in this study, silicone gel medium that is mixed with unbounded magnetic abrasives is applied for verifying the surface roughness improvement of paramagnet materials and preventing the chemical reaction on the working surface.
