Abstract: To improve surface planarity, a translational movement is added into the magnetorheoloigcal planarization process. To explore effects of some process parameters, including trajectory type, stroke and reciprocate velocity, on surface planarity, a set of finishing experiments are carried out. The results show that planarity is well improved when the trough reciprocates perpendicularly to the air gap. Surface planarity decreases as stoke increases but is hardly affected by reciprocate velocity. Using the magnetorheoloigcal planarization process with addition of translational movement, an ultra-smooth surface with planarity of micron order in PV is achieved on a K9 optical glass.

Abstract: Magnetorheological finishing (MRF) is an advanced machining technology can achieve high efficiency and smoother surfaces. This study discusses the material removal mechanism of MRF, and proposes a kind of magnetorheological fluid with the nano-diamond abrasives. A series of experiments on the BK7 optical glass were conducted to investigate effects of the concentration of nano-diamond abrasives on surface quality and removal efficiency.

Abstract: In order to solve the problem of the randomly arrangement of the diamond abrasives, a novel orderly arrangement grinding wheel was developed, which used magnetic field to control the magnetic particles to drive diamond abrasives orderly arrangement. Effects of magnetic flux density on magnetic particle distribution was studied. And effects of magnetic particle proportion on magnetic particle distribution was studied. Grinding experiments were carried out on the tungsten carbide YG8 and surface roughness after grinding was also analyzed.

Abstract: In this paper, a novel area taking MRF process using permanent magnet as excitation was proposed. Four types of permanent magnet configurations were considered. Polishing experiment was conducted. Effects of different permanent magnet configurations on material removal rate (MRR) were discussed.

Abstract: Magnetic characteristics of three magnetic polishing fluids such as magnetic fluid (MF), magnetorheological fluid (MRF), and magnetic compound fluid (MCF) under magnetic field are experimentally investigated and analyzed. Their magnetic cluster structures under action of magnet field are observed, and their magnetic cluster models are established. Magnetic flied assisted polishing experiments for tungsten carbide are developed used these three kinds of magnetic fluids, material removal and surface roughness are respectively measured. At last, the machining characteristic of three magnetic fluids are contrasted and discussed according to experimental results.

Abstract: t is challenging to achieve good surface quality and high efficiency simultaneously when machining thin film solar panels. In this study the machining characteristics of a multilayered thin film structure were investigated using diamond wire sawing and grinding. It was found that the efficiency in sawing was significantly greater than that of the employed grinding process, but the machined surface quality was much worse. The results indicated that grinding could still be the solution for such processing and sawing must be improved before this technology could be further progressed for machining thin film multilayered structures.

Abstract: Optical glass is widely used as the most important material in optical field in recent years. Glass molding press (GMP) has been employed as a promising technique to manufacture optical components in mass production. Heating time and annealing time are the key factors which influence the production cycle. In this paper, an effective method of improving the heating or the annealing effectiveness is to increase the area exposed to the cooling or hot nitrogen by means of adding slots. In the same condition, four models with different slots were built. Based on the theoretical analysis of glass heating and annealing property in the molding process, finite element simulation was carried out. The results showed that the model with slots may decrease the heating and annealing time.

Abstract: Silicone oil based magnetic compound fluid was prepared to polishing stainless steel in this paper. The new fluid consists of nano-sized magnetite particle, micro-sized diamonds, micro-sized iron particle and α-cellulose. The characteristics of the fluid were analyzed. The length and quality of the magnetic cluster in the compound fluid was observed under a magnetic field. Polishing experiment of stainless steel was conducted using the silicone oil based magnetic compound fluid on an inclined polishing finishing device. The micro morphology of the stainless steel’s surface was measured. The results showed the surface quality was improved remarkably and the final roughness of the surface was Ra (Average roughness) 0.020μm.

Abstract: Glass lens molding is a high-volume fabrication method for producing optical components. In this paper, combined with the orthogonal test method and finite element method (FEM) simulation, the coupled thermo-mechanical analysis was carried out to analyze the key process factors. In order to reduce the testing time, an orthogonal test with three sets of level factors and three parameters is conducted to obtain the optimal molding process parameters. The result shows that the most significant parameter is molding velocity, the other effect parameters are molding temperature and friction coefficient. According to the previous analysis of orthogonal experiment, it is shown that the best optimal finishing process parameters were A2B1C1.

Abstract: Glass molding is a high-volume fabrication method for producing optical components. Non-isothermal glass molding press (NGM) was proposed to fabricate optical glass, and its characteristics were studied by finite element method (FEM) simulation. The coupled thermo-mechanical analysis was carried out to analyze the key factors such as temperature distribution, stress distribution and strain distribution. The non-isothermal and isothermal glass molding (IGM) was studied, and optimal temperature match between glass and mold was obtained.
