Investigation on Aluminum Alloy Reflector Mirror Processing Technology Combining Ultrasonic Rolling and Single-Point Diamond Turning

In the process of aluminum alloy reflector mirror processing, the structural defects of aluminum alloys present bottlenecks restricting the development of aluminum alloy reflector mirror processing technologies. Therefore, this study proposes an aluminum alloy reflector mirror processing method involving ultrasonic rolling and single-point diamond turning. The core idea of this method is to use ultrasonic rolling to pretreat the surface of the workpiece to refine the grains and increase the hardness, then perform single-point diamond turning to improve the optical reflection performance. In this study, an ultrasonic rolling cutting experiment was carried out, and the influence of the material preparation method on the microstructure and hardness of the workpiece was analyzed. An ultrasonic rolling single-point diamond turning experiment was carried out, and the influence of the material preparation method on the reflection performance of single-point diamond turning was studied. Results showed that compared with single-point diamond turning after ordinary milling, the ultrasonic rolling single-point diamond turning method has certain advantages in improving the surface reflection performance, with an increase of 5.116%. The method proposed in this study can provide new ideas for the high-quality processing of aluminum alloy reflector mirrors.
