Types of medium used in hybrid processes.
| Process | Polymer carrier | Abrasives used | Workpiece material | Prominent results |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic AFM [89] | (a) Natural Rubber (NR) (b) Butyl Rubber |
SiC | Al and En8 | Butyl Rubber based medium shows good performance as compared to natural rubber. |
| ECAFM [71] | Polypropylene glycol and polyethylene glycol | Al2O3 | Electrically conductive material | (1) Excellent internal surface finishing. (2) Electrolyte abrasives laden medium can be extruded at low extrusion pressure. |
| MAAFM [73] | (1) Silicon-based polymer (2) Ferromagnetic constituents |
Al2O3 | Brass | Increase in the strength of the medium by applying magnetic field. |
| R-AFF [90] | Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR) | SiC | (Al alloy, Al alloy/SiC with 10 % SiC and 15% SiC) MMC | Rheological properties of medium were modified for getting good results regarding material removal rate and surface finish. |
| MRAFF [47] | Paraffin oil and grease | Sic | SS | Better surface finish as compare to AFM |
