The inconvenience of conventional wool ball polishing is that the surface finishing process should be equipped with a slurry container. The main objective of this research is to develop an ultrasonic-assisted surface finishing process for STAVAX mold steel on a 5-axis CNC machining center, by using new lab-made rubber polishing balls containing the abrasive aluminum oxide instead of the traditional wool ball polishing. In total, five types (type A to type E) of new rubber-matrixed polishing balls with a composite of nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), an abrasive of aluminum oxide, and an additive of silicon dioxide have been developed. The performance of the composites with different grain sizes (0.05 µm to 3 µm) and concentrations of the abrasive of aluminum oxide have been investigated. The effects of multiple polishing passes on the surface roughness improvement for the lab-made polishing balls have also been investigated in this study. A surface roughness of Ra 0.027 µm on average was achieved by using the multiple polishing process of E-C-B-A. The volumetric wear of the lab-made polishing balls, using ultrasonic vibration-assisted polishing, can be improved from about 12.64% (type A) to 65.48% (type E) compared with the non-vibration-assisted polishing. The suitable combination of the ultrasonic vibration-assisted polishing parameters were an amplitude of 10 µm, a frequency of 23 kHz, a spindle speed of 5000 rpm, a feed rate of 60 mm/min, a stepover of 20 µm, a penetration depth of 180 µm, and a polishing pass of E-C-B-A, based on the experimental results. The surface roughness improvement on a test carrier with a saddle surface has also been presented by using the ultrasonic vibration-assisted polishing with the lab-made polishing balls.
