Currently, there is an increasing need for technologies that improve the reliability and service life of domestic equipment, which has a positive impact on the development of the Russian economy. The creation of new methods of processing parts makes it possible to ensure the leading positions of domestic machine engineering production in various fields, one of which is the aircraft industry. The article proposes the method of magnetic abrasive polishing of the edges of body parts in rivet joints of aircraft. For the subsequent development of this method in industrial conditions, laboratory samples have been made from rolled sheets and the procedure of magnetic abrasive polishing of the rivet joint hole area has been tested on specialized laboratory complex equipment at the Saint Petersburg Mining University of Empress Catherine II. Graphs comparing roughness and hardness measured before and after the magnetic abrasive polishing are constructed. The obtained dependences confirm an increase in the durability of rivet joints. Research opens up prospects for improving the reliability of aircraft parts.
