The development of machining processes with no wear or very little wear has been one of the major objectives of researchers since the very beginning of the field. In a very general sense there are two engineering solutions to the problem of minimizing wear. The most common method for the reduction or elimination of wear from cutting mechanisms is to separate the surfaces by the use of fluid or solid lubricants. The second general approach to wear control is to modify materials and material properties and so material pair behavior. Examples are the production of special materials and alloys for cutting tools and coating of hardened layers on tool surfaces. In contrast to using a material lubricant, another possibility for the seperation of tool and workpiece is the use of magnetic or other repulsive force fields. Control of wear in this way is justify; TEXT-INDENT: 18pt; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; unicode-bidi: embed; DIRECTION: ltr" Magnetic treatment to alter material behavior in machining processes and material properties of manufactured parts have many attractive features. In the present research the basic theory of magnetic assisted machining has been studied, firstly. By providing some new ideas and doing some primary tests, the best combination of applying magnetic field on machining process with reducing air gap on magnetic circuit has become possible. The magnetic assisted machining was used for reducing tool wear, imrpving surface roughness and machining forces. These phenomena are due to the change of workpiece surface plastic properties which is caused by a simultaneous action of magnetic and thermo-mechanical processes, known as a magnetic plastic effect. Indeed, magnetization of surfaces in cutting, changes their strain energy state, accelerates the hardening of cutting surface and simultaneously modifies the subsurface plastic flow on the workpiece surface under the rake face of the tool. In this thesis for the first time by design and fabrication of a new mechanism, sufficient magnetic field was simultaneously applied on tool and workpiece in wich air gap reduction was possible. Using the design of experiments method, full factorial technique, 3 3 ×2 tests were conducted and the results were taken. For analyzing the effect of input parameters the analysis of variance method was used. The results proved the advantages of the proposed method in comparison with traditional ones. Microscopic photoes of tool wear and force diagrams of dynanometer present the benefits of new mechanism.
