Abstract: The development of composite abrasives considering the cleanability of the polished work piece was previously reported. In glass polishing, composite abrasives exhibit improved polishing characteristics and result in superior cleanability in comparison with conventional polishing compounds. In this study, the application of these composite abrasives to the polishing of stainless alloy, cast iron and sapphire are investigated. New manufacturing methods and polymer particles are proposed for the various material applications. The experimental results show that composite abrasives improve the polishing removal rate for metal and sapphire substrates.

Abstract: Viscoelastic polymers are used as one of coating materials for protecting the products from scratches. Presently, the repair of the coating surface for removing dust or extraneous matters has been performed through several polishing processes. However, it becomes increasingly difficult to polish its surface by only applying good skill and experience of skilled worker because a leading-edge viscoelastic polymer for coating is further scratch-resistant. Thus, based on quantitative evaluation of relation between polishing process and finished surface, it is necessary to make the polishing process appropriate for the leading-edge viscoelastic polymers. In this study, we attempt to establish the evaluation method of the polished surface and clarify the surface condition with invisible scratches.
