本文总结了对级联光整工艺及其改善表面光洁度能力的系统研究。尽管该工艺主要用于去除铸件和机加工零件的毛刺，但在适当的条件下，该工艺能够改善表面光洁度。使用研磨性介质，振动作用产生了方向性的无光表面，R（sub a）值尽可能细。27微米。发现垂直于振动运动的表面经历了喷丸作用，表面的初始R（sub a）值降低了75%。运行时间、振动频率、介质类型、表面粗糙度和表面方向都是控制该过程的主要因素。

This paper summarizes a systematic study of the Cascade Finishing Process and its ability to improve surface finish. Although mainly used to deburr castings and machined parts, the process was able to improve surface finishes under the right conditions. Using abrasive media, the vibratory action produced directional, matte surfaces with R(sub a) values as fine as.27 micrometers. Surfaces perpendicular to the vibratory motion were found to have undergone a peening action with surfaces having initial R(sub a) values reduced by up to 75%. Run time, vibratory frequency, media type, surface roughness and surface orientation are all major factors governing the process.
