光学玻璃的精密加工技术

光学玻璃作为一种典型的脆硬材料,采用普通的加工方法难以进行高效精密加工。本文介绍了光学玻璃的高效精密特种加工技术,对ELID法、激光加工、超声磨削以及精密铣削的最新研究进展进行了综述。采用ELID技术,通过控制加工工艺参数,使砂轮单个磨粒的最大切削深度小于脆性材料的临界切削厚度,实现了脆性材料的塑性加工,并得到精密光滑的表面;在加工非球曲面时,可使零件的精加工抛光量降到最低。最新激光加工技术通过增加预热激光束,极大降低已加工表面的热应力及拉伸应力,使得加工质量有了大幅提高。超声波磨削加工不仅改善了表面完整性,而且提高了加工效率,通过选用适当的刀具和工艺参数,使被加工工件表面粗糙度值比普通磨削降低了30%～40%。光学玻璃精密铣削技术通过优化刀具、加工方式及工艺参数,可提高加工质量和效率、降低加工成本。
