Abstract
The honing process is widely used for finishing cylindrical internal surfaces to achieve superior surface integrity. Traditional flexible honing tools, though affordable and easy to use, have limitations in processing multi-diameter holes, curved surfaces, and varying diameters. This research introduces a novel customized honing tool designed and fabricated using additive manufacturing, enabling rapid and efficient design adjustments for diverse applications. Experimental evaluations revealed its high performance, achieving surface roughness values of Ra ≈ 0.5 μm and Sa ≈ 0.3 μm. Abbott-Firestone curves showed reduced running-in periods (up to 30-fold), minimized wear, and extended component lifespan. Moreover, optimizing rotational speed and reciprocating cycles significantly improved surface quality, showcasing the tool's adaptability and potential as a superior finishing solution.
