Abstract

Based on the Sigmund sputtering theory, the material removal characteristics in ion beam figuring process are analyzed. The analysis shows that the footprint of beam removal function and the removal rate vary with different incidence angles, which is validated by experiments on small fused silica samples. These material removal characteristics are valuable in ion beam figuring process, which could be applied to machining spherical surfaces and aspherical surfaces with simple method.
