Abstract

K9 optical glass was widely used in national defense and civilian fields. In this paper, chemo-mechanical grinding (CMG) was applied to process the K9 optical glass. Selecting CeO2, MgO and Fe2O3as CMG abrasives, the corresponding CMG tools were purposely developed for the check experiment. High surface and subsurface qualities on the K9 optical glass specimen were obtained as the polished results by the CeO2-CMG tools. Surface roughness and material removal rate were used to evaluate the grinding performance. The low-abrasive ratio of CeO2-CMG tool was proved as the optimal one, by which the surface roughness Ra reached 0.586nm, and the surface morphology appeared smooth and flat. The angle polishing was applied to detect the subsurface quality and the subsurface cracks were not observed.
