Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polishing technology, and more specifically, to an electromagnetic microwave-assisted polishing system. Background Technology

[0002] In the polishing of hard and brittle materials, temperature is a crucial factor affecting the final polishing effect, and temperature variations influence the polishing process performance. Polishing temperature has a significant impact on the processing efficiency and surface quality of sapphire. During polishing, increased temperature accelerates the chemical reaction between the chemical components in the polishing solution and the processed material, improving the removal rate and achieving a better surface quality. Both excessively high and low temperatures negatively affect the processing effect. Low temperatures in the processing area reduce the chemical reaction rate, resulting in mechanical removal exceeding chemical removal and causing damage to the polished workpiece surface. Conversely, excessively high temperatures cause the chemical reaction rate to exceed mechanical removal, leading to surface corrosion, residue buildup, and reduced surface quality. A suitable temperature maintains a balance between chemical and mechanical processes, resulting in a better polishing outcome.

[0003] The abrasive in the polishing slurry is also a major factor affecting the processing effect. During processing, the abrasive in the polishing slurry may agglomerate, causing scratches on the workpiece surface. Workpiece fixation during polishing is usually achieved by using paraffin wax to adhere the workpiece to the carrier plate. However, when the processing temperature is too high, the polishing pad is prone to deformation, and the paraffin wax softens, reducing its fixing effect and causing the workpiece to fall off, resulting in surface damage or even cracking.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, we provide an electromagnetic microwave-assisted polishing system.

[0005] The information disclosed above in this background section is only for enhancing the understanding of the background section of this invention, and therefore may include prior art that is not known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
