Rectangular microfeatures have been adopted in many precision mechanical components for optics, microfluidics and surface engineering applications. Recently, precision machining technologies such as cutting and milling have been increasingly employed for fabricating these microfeatures in size of tens to hundreds of micrometers. However, due to the limitation of the achievable surface quality attributed to burrs and tool marks, a post polishing process becomes an indispensable step. For microfeatures, form dominates the function while surface quality affects the performance. Therefore, improving surface quality without deteriorating form accuracy is the key challenge to polish microfeatures. Thus, this paper presents an analytical and experimental investigation on finishing of rectangular microfeatures by using localized vibration-assisted magnetic abrasive polishing (VAMAP) method, aiming to achieve surface quality improvement without deteriorating the form of microfeatures. The suitable magnetic field distribution was determined through comparing different configurations of pole and magnet. Polishing force and lifetime of abrasives were quantitatively evaluated. The results demonstrated that the method was applicable to curved rectangular microfeatures for both ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic materials. The surface quality was improved that the burrs and tool marks were removed while the form of microfeatures was well maintained.
