Abstract (en)

A polishing system comprising one or more magnetic units able to produce a magnetic field is provided. The magnetic units may cause a polishing material to become plasticized and the plasticized material is able to polish a surface of a work piece. The polishing material may intermittently and repeatedly contact with the surface for polishing. A method for engraving or embossing a predefined pattern in a surface during magneto-rheological polishing of the surface is also provided <IMAGE>
