Electropolishing is the electrolytic removal of metal in a highly ionic solution by means of an electrical potential and current. It is normally used to remove a very thin layer of material on the surface of a metal part or component. Electropolishing is able to enhance the material properties of a workpiece and to change its physical dimensions. Also, It is suitable for the polishing of both complex shapes and hardened materials, which are difficult to machine mechanically. therefore, the aim of the present study is to investigate the characteristic of Electropolishing A12024 in terms of current density, polishing time and electrode gap, etc.

A 110 m diameter aspheric metal secondary mirror for a test model of an earth observation satellite camera was fsbricated by ultra-precision single point diamond turning (SPDT). Aluminum alloy for mirror substrates is known to be easily machinable, but not polishable due to its ductility. A harder material, Ni, is usually electrolessly coated on an A1 substrate to increase the surface hardness for optical polishing. Aspheric metal secondary mirror without a conventional polishing process, the surface roughness of Ra=10nm, and the form error of Ra=λ/12(λ=632.8nm) has been required. The purpose of this research is to find the optimum machining conditions for reflector cutting of electroless-Ni coated A1 alloy and apply the SPDT technique to the manufacturing of ultra precision optical components of metal aspheric reflector.

Magneto Electrolytic Polishing (MEP) is a process in which metal ions are removed from a abrasive through a combination of magnetic electric current and chemical solution. The substrate is immersed into the magnetic effect, chemical solution, and DC crunt is applied. Several factors affect the rate at which the metal ions are removed from the substrate. Three of the most significant are the amount of time in which the substrate is immersed I the solution, and the amount of direct current applied in magnetic field. In this study, the surface finishing characteristics and optical finishing condition for the stainless steel were experimented upon and analyzed.

Spherical glass lenses are used in many optical industries. The curvature, eccentricity and height of a tool affect the surface roughness and curvature of lenses. The purpose of this study is the development and performance of a self-diagnostication ultra-precision lens polishing machine. In this paper, structure analysis is performed to reduce maximum displacement and to maintain outside the resonance region by CATIA V5. A spherical center setting gage is developed to increase accuracy of the manufactured lenses. The surface roughness, curvature and thickness of the manufactured lenses are measured and studied.

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a powerful tool for analyzing a broad range of materials and provides localized information about the microstructure. However, the analysis results are strongly influenced by the quality of the thin foil specimen. Sample preparation for TEM analysis requires considerable skill, especially when the area of interest is small or the material of interest is difficult to thin because of its high hardness and its mechanical instability when thinned. This article selectively reviews recent advances in TEM sample preparation techniques using a tripod polisher. In particular, it introduces two typical types (fl at type and wedge type) of TEM sample preparation and the benefits and drawbacks of each method; finally, a method of making better samples for TEM analysis is suggested.

This paper describes a dynamic thermal model for a representative dual axis rotational Chemical-Mechanical Polishing (CMP) tool. The model is one-dimensional but configured in the two-dimensional space and consists of three sub-models (pad, wafer and slurry fluid), with the first and the second that are time-dependent heat conduction-convection models with linear stationary (wafer) and nonlinear moving (pad) boundary conditions, and the last one that is a heat transport-convection model (slurry fluid). The modeling approach is validated by comparing the simulation results with available experimental data.

Optical and electronic industries are using lapping and polishing processing as a final finish rather than grinding, because they need more accurate parts of brittles non-metallic materials such as single crystals. Sapphire has been ground by the ultra-precision surface grinder having a glass -ceramic spindle of extremely-low thermal expansion with various cup-type resinoid-bonded diamond wheels of #400-#3000 in grain size. Sapphire can be ground in the ductile mode. And also, the surface roughness and grinding conditions has been clarified. The smooth surface of Sapphire less than 1nm RMS, 1nm Ra can be obtained by the ultra-precision grinding without any polishing process.

When the ceramic material is being machined, micro crack and brittle fracture dominate the process of material removal. Generally, ceramics are very difficult-to-cut materials and machined using conventional method such as grinding and polishing. However, such processes are generally cost-expensive and have low material removal rate. Machinable ceramics used in this study contain BN powder to overcome these problem and for productivity elevation. This paper focuses on machinability evaluation during end mill process with CNC machining center in this study. Experiment for this purpose is performed for tool wear patterns and mechanism.

The present study has shown that the effect of boron and phosphorus in Ni-Cr-Si-X alloy to interfacial reactions and bonding strength of diamond-steel substrate, and the influence of various construction parameters on the formation of the topography of the tool. And these factors are required to making a good brazed tool. The microstructures and phase change of the brazed region were analyzed into SEM, EDS. According to the electron probe microanalysis, while brazing, the chromium present in the brazing alloy segregated preferentially to the surface of the diamond to form a chromium rich reaction product, which was readily wetted by the alloy.

Shoe with leather upper such as safety and golf shoe requires a roughing process where the upper is roughed fur helping outsole to be cemented well. It is an important and basic process for production of leather shoe but is not automated yet. Thus, there are problems that the defect rate is high and the quality of roughed surface is not uniform. In order to solve such problems, the interest in automation of roughing process is being increased and this paper introduces CAM system for 5-axis automatic roughing machine as one part of automation of roughing process. The CAM system developed interpolates a B-spline curve using points measured from the Roughing Path Measurement System. The B-spline curve is used to generate the tool path and orientation data fer a roughing tool which has not only stiffness but also flexibility to rough the inclined surface efficiently. For productivity, the upper of shoe is machined by side of the roughing tool and tool offset is applied to the roughing tool for machining of inclined surface. The generated NC code was applied to 5-axis polishing machine for the test. The upper of shoe was roughed well along the roughing path data from CAM and the roughed surface was proper fur cementing of the outsole.
