Research on Material Removal Characteristics of Nanoparticle Colloid Jet Machining

Abstract

For producing ultra smooth surface, a nanoparticle colloid jet machining system has been designed and manufactured in which a reversible polymerize and decompose reaction is utilized to remove surface atoms. The material removal characteristics of nanoparticle colloid jet machining were analyzed. A series of removal experiments were conducted to show the characteristics of the material removal in nanoparticle colloid jet machining. A K9 glass sample had been polished by using the nanoparticle colloid jet machining system, and an ultra smooth surface with micro roughness less than 1 nm RMS had been obtained. The experimental results prove that it is suitable to fabricate ultra smooth surface with nanoparticle colloid jet machining.
