Abstract
Mirror-polishing processes have recently been required to add high quality, high-precision precision and multi-functionality to industrial products. However, this requires skilled manual work, making it difficult to improve productivity. Automatic polishing of these products is also very difficult. Furthermore, mirror-polishing process of stainless steel, titanium and glass, which are often used in high-value-added medical products, is also difficult. Therefore, in this study, a technology for high-precision, automatic mirror polishing of three difficult-to-polish materials - stainless steel, titanium and glass - was developed and evaluated. First, the difficult-to-polish properties of different materials were considered, and then tools were developed to improve these properties and enable suitable mirror-polishing processes. Next, a polishing slurry was developed to improve the surface roughness (Rz=0.1 µm or less). Finally, the optimum polishing conditions for the proposed mirror-polishing process were determined by design of experiment and then evaluated. It was concluded that;(1) In order to perform mirror-polishing processes of three types of workpieces, stainless steel (SUS304), titanium (pure titanium) and glass (quartz glass), new polishing tool and slurries corresponding to each material were developed and the optimum polishing processing conditions were clarified, (2) Using (1), mirror-polishing processes of each material with a surface roughness of Rz=0.1μm has been achieved.
期刊介绍:
ournal of Machine Engineering is a scientific journal devoted to current issues of design and manufacturing - aided by innovative computer techniques and state-of-the-art computer systems - of products which meet the demands of the current global market. It favours solutions harmonizing with the up-to-date manufacturing strategies, the quality requirements and the needs of design, planning, scheduling and production process management. The Journal'' s subject matter also covers the design and operation of high efficient, precision, process machines. The Journal is a continuator of Machine Engineering Publisher for five years. The Journal appears quarterly, with a circulation of 100 copies, with each issue devoted entirely to a different topic. The papers are carefully selected and reviewed by distinguished world famous scientists and practitioners. The authors of the publications are eminent specialists from all over the world and Poland. Journal of Machine Engineering provides the best assistance to factories and universities. It enables factories to solve their difficult problems and manufacture good products at a low cost and fast rate. It enables educators to update their teaching and scientists to deepen their knowledge and pursue their research in the right direction.
