Abstract
Given the difficulties in processing and detecting the narrow and deep inner cavities of the diffusive copper absorber used by the High Energy Photon Source (HEPS), a regression equation prediction model for surface roughness and material removal depth based on abrasive flow machining was proposed through mixed-level orthogonal experiments. The influences of machining area pressure, machining cycle number, and abrasive mesh number on surface roughness and material removal were revealed. Subsequently, abrasive flow machining verification experiments were conducted on the narrow and deep inner cavities of the absorber, showing that the experimental results were within 15% error compared to the model predictions. After abrasive flow machining, the roughness decreased from about 4.4 μm to around 0.6 μm, significantly improving the surface quality of the workpiece. These research findings can provide a theoretical basis and technical support for the optical finishing of workpieces with narrow and deep variable cross-section inner cavities.
