Abstract

Owing to its excellent physical and chemical properties, such as high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and low density, optical glass is widely used in high-tech fields such as aviation, aerospace, and national defense; however, the grinding force during the processing of optical glass seriously affects the surface quality. Therefore, in the present paper, a mathematical model of the grinding force of diamond wheels with the ordered arrangement of abrasive grains on optical glass materials is established. The influences of the grinding wheel landform layout parameters and processing technology on the grinding force are discussed. The results of theoretical analysis and experimental research show that the ordered arrangement of abrasive grains can effectively reduce the grinding force. The values predicted by the model are in good agreement with the experimental results, indicating that the established mathematical model can provide theoretical guidance for the optimization of parameters in the processing process.
