Ultra-Precision Grinding Process and Experimental Research of the New Flotation Cushion

Abstract:

A lapping and polishing technology of flotation cushion was studied and some improved equipments were carried out to polish flotation cushion with the structure of variable-section pressure equalizing groove. Main parameters of lapping and polishing (e.g. abrasive disk rotate speed, abrasive disk stress, abrasive category, abrasive grain diameter, slurry density and abrasive disk material) were changed to find out impact parameters of surface quality. Optimization parameters of lapping and polishing of cushion were gotten and mirror finish was achieved. Experiments show that the processed surface with this technology is pinch rolling and no scratch based on the optimization parameters.
