Accurate prediction of the material removal rate (MRR) distribution is very important for the control of the polishing process. However, the widely used prediction method of MRR based on the Preston equation is still incapable of predicting the roll-off phenomenon in polishing process. One of the reasons is that many of the researchers’ neglected the effect of the surface profile of the workpiece on the MRR. In this paper, the evolutionary process of MRR distribution with the change of surface profile using two different polishing pad is studied, it is found that MRR varies gradually with the change of surface profile and tends to be uniform finally. Based on the analysis of contact pressure considering the actual surface profile of workpiece and modified Preston equation, the distribution of MRR is analyzed. It is found that the Preston coefficient distribution on workpiece surface is stable when the surface profile variation is small and shows obvious differences from the center to the edge of the workpiece. Through the comparison it is found that correlation between the regularities of Preston coefficient distribution and the type of polishing pad is significant. The research results in this paper will play an important guiding role in the quantitative prediction method research of polishing process.

The hydrolytic properties of LiAlO2 (LAO) are important factors for its applications on LED fabrication. During soft pad polishing process, the H2O in the slurry is deleterious for LAO surface polishing results. The current study develops a material removal rate model for materials with hydrolysis reaction to predict the result of polishing process.The current research conducts the experimental studies to investigate the material removal rate and its mechanism during the soft pad polishing process. In the experimental study, the hydrolytic properties of LAO have been tested to understand the hydrolysis speed with different operation parameters to assist the development of the theoretical model. Also the material removal rates of LAO with hydrolytic property have been measured under different soft pad polishing operating conditions. The experimental results provide the hydrolytic properties of LiAlO2 to understanding of the mechanism on polishing process.

The demand for improving the image quality of cameras has increased significantly, especially in industrial fields such as broadcasting, on-vehicle, security, factory automation, and medicine. The surface of glass lenses as a key component of cameras is formed and finished by polishing using small tools. The existing polishing technologies, however, exhibit serious problems including an unstable material removal rate over time. In our previous work, the mechanism of time variation in material removal rate was clarified. Based on the findings, a vibration-assisted polishing method using polishing pads containing titanium dioxide particles was developed for improving the stability of the material removal rate with the accumulated polishing time. Our experiments revealed that the proposed polishing method suppressed the time variation significantly in the material removal rate. The developed polishing pads, however, possessed a short life because of their poor wear resistance; as such, they could not be applied to the mass-production process of lenses. In this study, we applied the vibration-assisted polishing method to the polishing process using commercial polishing pads that exhibit sufficient wear resistance for practical use. To investigate the effect of vibration on the stability of the material removal rate, polishing experiments and the observation of slurry flow on the surface of the polishing pads during the vibration-assisted polishing process were conducted. Based on the findings, a new polishing method utilizing a large-amplitude high-frequency vibration applied to the polishing pressure was developed. In addition, a new polishing method utilizing the overhang of a polishing pad, where the polishing pad was moved to hang over the edge of the workpiece for incorporating periodic dressing processes of the polishing pad surface during the polishing process, was also developed. Our polishing experiments revealed that both the proposed polishing methods improved the stability of the material removal rate significantly over the course of the polishing process.

The concentricity of the optical fiber micro lens affects the coupling efficiency of a laser module a lot. In this paper, the effect of the perpendicularity of the broken edge on the concentricity of the micro optical fiber end-face during the micro polishing process is studied. A mathematical model is derived to describe the variation of the material removal rate (MRR) when the tilt angles and amount of feed of the optical fiber are changed. An experiment is built to measure the concentricity of optical fiber with different tilt angles and feeds. The result shows that both of the dimensionless factor QAB and measured concentricity have the same tendency. The concentricity is better when the tilt angle is smaller and the amount of feed is larger. An improved polishing process is suggested. A good concentricity within 1μm can be achieved when fabricate the double-variable curvatures end-face of the optical fiber.

There are numerous parameters and steps involved in a computer controlled ultra-precision polishing process (CCUP). The success of CCUP relies heavily on the understanding and optimization of material removal when new materials and new surfaces are polished. It is crucial to optimize the polishing parameters to enhance the effectiveness of the polishing process and to assess the impact of different process parameters on the material removal rate of particular difficult-to-machine materials such as CoCr alloys, which is commonly used in orthopedic implants. This paper aims at studying the process parameters and optimization of the parameter to enhance the material removal rate and quantify the contribution of process parameters.

Method of compound machining is used to process single crystal silicon and SrTiO3 ceramic substrates, and the factors on effects of compound machining are studied such as magnetic field intensity, processing time, rotating speed of lapping plate and lapping pressure. The results show that the roughness of work pieces processed by compound machining are smaller than that by lapping based on cluster MR effect and polyurethane pad polishing process, while the material removal rate is higher than polyurethane pad polishing process, therefore, compound machining shows its synergistic effect between lapping based on cluster MR effect and polyurethane pad polishing process. The type and properties of workpiece material, and machining parameters both have a significant impact on the roughness and material removal rate of compound machining process of polyurethane polishing pad and cluster abrasive brush based on MR effect.
