Viscoelastic Magnetic Abrasive finishing has achieved a wide popularity in the field of finishing as the process is capable of finishing Non-ferrous material along with the ferrous material. With the development in technology the quality and surface finish attract more attention as compare to the machining perfection and dimensional accuracy. The present paper consists of comparison of four type of magnet available in the market and one of them as self-proposed electromagnet. A single aluminium hollow cylindrical workpiece of outer diameter as 10 mm and the inner diameter as 8 mm is finished by taking the magnet one by one whose dimensions are made according to the available literature and market and are placed as two magnetic poles with 180 degrees apparats. Ansys Maxwell 16 software was used to predict the value of maximum magnetic field on the workpiece due to the shape of the magnet and it was found that the maximum magnetic field was produced by fan shape magnet of about 0.6 Tesla. From the idea of magnetic field intensity of the workpiece, the machining ability of the magnet in viscoelastic magnetic field can be produced.
