ABSTRACT
This chapter gives complete information on the bio-implants-related infections, manufacturing difficulties in machining the bio-implants, and sequence of steps involved in the present invention, that is, development of the advanced finishing process to finish the bio-implants. In the current research work to overcome the challenges associated with conventional finishing processes to finish complex internal and external surfaces and biomaterials, a unidirectional abrasive flow finishing process is developed. Simultaneously, viscoelastic polymer-based abrasive media has been developed with varying sizes of abrasive mesh size for the finishing of various surfaces. The essential parameters of interest are the number of cycles, pressure and abrasive media, which can be varied at different levels to study their effect on the output responses. The developed abrasive media is subjected to different characterization studies to ascertain the thermal and rheological properties of the abrasive media.
