Size Effects on Transferability and Mold Change of Glass Molding Press for Microgrooves

Abstract:

Glass molding press (GMP) was applied to the fabrication of 3 kinds of microgrooves with different pitches on the glass surface. The size effects of microgroove fabrication on the Nickel Phosphorous (Ni-P) plating layer by diamond cutting were experimentally tested, and then, the size effects of microgroove fabrication by GMP using the Ni-P mold were experimentally tested. Finally, the changes of the Ni-P mold after GMP by 100 shots were compared with the microgroove mold before GMP, and the size effects of the mold change were discussed. By the comparison research of microgroove fabrication with different pitches, it suggests a way to create microgrooves with even smaller size.
