Henceforth, this study focuses on optimizing parameters for the newly developed magnetorheological finishing process for internal cylindrical surfaces using a Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) model integrated with Bayesian optimization. The GPR model served as a probabilistic surrogate to predict surface roughness with exceptional accuracy, achieving an R<sup>2</sup> = 0.99 and an overall prediction accuracy of 99%.

It outperformed other machine learning models, SVM, DNN, and ANN, by achieving the lowest MSE (10.9487), MAPE (1.84%), and highest correlation coefficient (CC = 99.49%) in the testing phase, demonstrating its robustness and generalization capability. Bayesian optimization was employed to effectively search for the best combination of parameters., identifying the optimal conditions for achieving a nano-level finish.

Therefore, this paper proposes an automatic defect recognition method based on alternating current field measurement (ACFM) technology, which achieves visual identification of defects by constructing images of distorted magnetic fields caused by the defects. The method integrates magnetic field interpolation imaging technology with image processing algorithms to improve visualization and enable automated defect recognition. First, an ACFM simulation model is established to analyze the relationship between the magnetic induction perpendicular to the specimen surface and the disturbances in the induced current at defect edges, thereby revealing the signal distribution patterns. On this basis, a magnetic field interpolation imaging technique is proposed to transform one-dimensional testing curves into two-dimensional magnetic field distribution images, and visual algorithms are incorporated to design automatic defect recognition rules. Defect quantification is achieved based on hue extremum analysis of the distorted magnetic field regions. Finally, the effectiveness of the method is verified on an ACFM experimental platform. The experimental results demonstrate robust multi-defect detection capability, achieving localization errors below 4 % and maximum recognition errors of less than 6 % for defect length. For depth estimation, the system leverages the Hue component of the magnetic field image, yielding a correlation coefficient exceeding 0.99 between the extracted Hue feature and the actual defect depth. The system also accurately resolves crack orientation and characterizes corrosion morphology, with all recognition errors maintained below 5 %.

Nevertheless, the underlying physical mechanism remains inadequately explained. This study derives a computational formula for the levitation force on a permanent magnet based on the static equilibrium equations and Bernoulli’s equation, establishing a functional relationship between the levitation force, surface tension, and magnetic field strength. Through comparative analysis of experimental and simulation results, we systematically investigate the influence of sidewall confinement on the levitation force, validate its variation, and rule out the contribution of the surface tension.
