Abstract A new reciprocating magnetorheological (MR) method for polishing a flat borosilicate glass surface is proposed. A reciprocating MR polishing tester was designed to polish borosilicate glass, in which supplying MR polishing fluid uniformly could yield a flatter surface on the workpiece. The MR polishing fluid was prepared according to specific test requirements and the rheological properties and precipitation rate were measured. The mechanism for polishing borosilicate glass was evaluated further by analyzing the surface morphology and surface profile. The transparency of the glass surface was enhanced with an improvement of surface quality with pre-processing and reciprocating MR polishing process. The results demonstrated the effectiveness of the reciprocating MR polishing method, which could be used for polishing borosilicate glass.

硼硅玻璃表面光洁度的往复磁流变抛光法

摘要 提出了一种用于抛光平面硼硅酸盐玻璃表面的往复磁流变(MR)新方法。一种往复式MR抛光测试仪用于抛光硼硅酸盐玻璃，其中均匀供应MR抛光液可以使工件表面更平坦。根据具体试验要求配制MR抛光液，并测定其流变性能和沉淀率。通过分析表面形态和表面轮廓，进一步评估了抛光硼硅酸盐玻璃的机制。玻璃表面的透明度通过预处理和往复式MR抛光工艺提高表面质量而增强。结果证明了往复式MR抛光方法的有效性，可用于抛光硼硅酸盐玻璃。
