Abstract
Owing to its material properties, aluminum-based optical loads are widely used in the aerospace field. At present, the main processing of an aluminum alloy mirror is single-point diamond turning followed by the combined polishing process. The surface will generate some white crystals during the chemical mechanical polishing process (CMP). These crystals can affect the improvement of surface quality and seriously reduce the processing efficiency of the whole process. In view of the above problems, four main factors of crystallization are obtained by interface theoretical analysis, Visual MINTEQ simulation of chemical morphological distribution, and experimental analysis. They are temperature, PH value of polishing fluid, solid–liquid contact angle, and impurity content of aluminum alloy. The crystallization phenomenon in the polishing process is successfully suppressed by improving the polishing process and selecting new materials. The experimental results showed that the surface roughness decreased from 7.21 to 2.98 nm without crystallization using the new method.
