Abstract

Aluminum alloy mirrors are more and more widely used in aerospace, military and other important fields because of its high performance, like easy forming, light weight and short manufacturing cycle. The aluminum alloy mirror which can fulfil requirements of infrared optical system can be processed by ultra-precision turning, but light scattering on the surface of the mirror reduces its performance seriously. In order to quantitatively describe scattering characteristics of the processed surface, the 3D shape of turning surface with vibration is considered, and the electromagnetic simulation is calculated by COMSOL software. The bidirectional reflection distribution function (BRDF) is selected to evaluate the scattering characteristic. The effect of the factors, like feed rate, vibration amplitude, edge radius and incident light source wavelength on the surface scattering characteristics is received. Al6061 material is processed by ultra-precision turning, and its surface roughness Rz is less than 20 nm. The BRDF and dynamic laser interferometer are used to measure the surface characteristics and the 3D shape of turning shape, and the experiment results match the simulation results well. The scattering phenomenon of machined surface can be effectively suppressed by selecting smaller turning feed and tool tip arc radius, and strictly controlling the amplitude of machining vibration.
