A Study on the Characteristics of Ultra Precision Machining of a Al Cone Mirror

In this work, diamond turning process is used to produce mirror surface on a Al cone. The Al cone as used as a mirror which can reflect a laser beam without scattering and, hence, it is critical to minimize the surface roughness of a Al cone. During diamond turning, feedrate and tool nose radius are changed to investigate characteristics of the ultra precision machined surface of a Al cone. A laser beam of 633 nm is applied to examine the effect of surface roughness on the characteristics of reflectivity. It is found that surface roughness is not significantly affected by feedrate. The main factor influencing surface roughness is tool nose radius. The line patterns of reflected laser beams show that the minimum surface roughness of 0.08 $\mu\textrm{m}$ (Ra) is required to avoid scattering phenomena of reflectivity.
