Explanation:

  • Lapping is a precision finishing operation carried out using fine abrasive materials.
  • This process:
    • Improves geometric accuracy
    • Refines surface finish
    • Assists in achieving a high degree of dimensional accuracy
    • Improves the quality of fit between the mating components
  • While lapping, the lapping compound collects in the serrations and rolls in and out as the work is moved.
  • Before commencing the lapping of the component, the cast iron plates should be charged with abrasive particles.
  • Charging is a process by which the abrasive particles are embedded on to the surface of the laps which are comparatively softer than the components being lapped.
