Study of Magnetorheological Brush Finishing (MRBF) for Concave Surface of Conformal Optics
Stainless steel; Aspheric mould; Ultra-precision turning; Magnetorheological polishing The ultra precision turning and the inclined-axis type of magnetorheological polishing were introduced for the small aspheric mould of stainless steel. The method was based on the principle of two kinds of processing methods, and the processing feature of stainless steel material. Firstly, the ultra-precision turning was employed to shape aspheric surface rapidly and obtain a relatively good surface. And then, the inclined-axis type of magnetorheological polishing as the final finishing was used to decrease sub-surface damage to obtain better precision. Several of experiments were carried out, the experimental results show that surface roughness can be achieved for Ra 0.0073μm.
