AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies struggle to effectively polish micro-internal flow channel structures with an aperture ≤3mm, an aspect ratio >50:1, and small bends. Over-polishing, deformation, or even damage often occurs due to improper abrasive particle size and media pressure and flow rate, failing to meet the surface quality requirement of Ra<1.6μm.
A composite polishing method combining water-based two-phase flow and abrasive flow is adopted. First, the roughness of the internal flow channel structure is polished to a specific roughness critical value in the range of 1.6μm to 5.6μm using water-based two-phase flow. Then, a secondary polishing is performed using abrasive flow medium. This method controls the small bends to prevent deformation. The polishing time and parameters are optimized by monitoring the flow rate and the output weight.
It achieves efficient polishing of micro-internal flow channel structures, ensuring that no over-polishing, deformation or breakage occurs in small turns, achieving a surface quality of Ra<1.6μm, and controlling the turning deformation to <150μm, meeting industrial requirements.
