Abstract
The chapter presents some elements related to Abrasive Flow Machining (AFM), specifically state of the art, elements of technological system, and construction of equipment as well as experimental results. The technological system comprises machine, tooling, working media, carrier, abrasive grains. This equipment could be the base for further researches in AFM field, comprising two opposed cylinders, which assures extrusion with semisolid abrasive media back and forth through the work piece or through passages formed by the work piece and a fixture. By repeatedly extruding the media from one cylinder to the other, an abrasive action is produced as the media enter a restrictive passage and travel through or across the work piece. In this way, the work piece can be nanofinished under Ra = 0.1 μm.
