[0002] As a core guiding component for elevator operation, the surface roughness and straightness of elevator guide rails directly affect the smoothness, safety, and service life of elevator operation; with the popularization of high-rise buildings, the market demand for high-precision guide rails is increasing day by day, and the quality of the guide rail surface finishing process has become a key factor restricting the improvement of elevator performance. However, the current traditional finishing processes have the following problems: low efficiency, relying on manual parameter adjustment, and it is difficult to meet the processing requirements of different material guide rails such as carbon steel, stainless steel, and composite materials; insufficient precision, uneven abrasive particle distribution in the traditional gas-solid flow impact process, which is likely to cause rough surface topography or local over-grinding; serious pollution, ineffective recovery of dry processing dust, high waste rate of nano-abrasive particles, and excessive emission concentration, and a large amount of industrial wastewater is generated in wet processing, and the treatment cost of the waste liquid containing abrasive particles accounts for 15%-20% of the total processing cost; lack of dynamic control, unable to monitor the roughness in real time and dynamically adjust parameters, resulting in poor processing consistency.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a surface finishing process that can take into account high precision, high efficiency, low pollution, and has dynamic feedback and automatic control to break through the limitations of traditional technologies. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the above pain points, the present invention provides a surface finishing process for elevator guide rails assisted by acoustic waves, which realizes high-precision, low-pollution, and fully automated guide rail surface processing through the synergistic impact of ultrasonic vibration and gas-solid two-phase flow, real-time roughness feedback regulation, and efficient dust recovery.
[0005] The solution of the present invention is as follows:

Description of the Drawings
[0028] Figure 1 It is a process flow schematic diagram of the elevator guide rail surface finishing process based on acoustic wave assistance. Detailed Embodiments
[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be explained and described below. However, the following embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in the implementation manners, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0030] Embodiment 1
[0031] I. Application Scenario
[0032] For a carbon steel guide rail with a specification of 125T: the material is Q235, the initial roughness is Ra 3.2 μm, surface finishing is carried out, and the target roughness is Ra ≤ 0.4 μm, and the straightness is ≤ 0.5 mm / m.
[0033] II. Detailed Process Steps
[0034] S1. Guide Rail Positioning and Parameter Retrieval
[0035] Place the 125T carbon steel guide rail on an adjustable V-shaped fixture, with the bottom width of 125 mm and the side guide surface height of 14 mm as the positioning reference. The servo motor drives the positioning block to move, and the axis of the guide rail is calibrated by a laser alignment instrument, with a positioning accuracy of ±0.05 mm; after the fixture reads the guide rail material label, it automatically retrieves the preset parameters: the pitch of the Venturi nozzle is 2 mm, the depth is 0.5 mm, the initial concentration of abrasive grains C0 = 20 g / m 3 , the ultrasonic vibration frequency is 25 kHz, and the reference feed speed v0 = 0.5 m / min.
[0036] S2. Initial Flattening Processing of Gas-Solid Two-Phase Flow
[0037] Start the compressed air system. Air with a pressure of 0.6 MPa forms a high-speed air flow of 80 m / s through the Venturi nozzle, and is mixed with 30 nm nano-aluminum oxide abrasive grains to form a gas-solid two-phase flow; the servo screw feeder controls the abrasive grain concentration at 20 g / m with an accuracy of ±0.5 g / min 3 , the nozzle moves along the axis of the guide rail at a speed of 0.5 m / min, impacts for 3 minutes to remove the surface oxide scale, and the initial roughness is reduced to Ra 1.6 μm.
[0038] S3. Ultrasonic Vibration-Assisted Strengthening Processing
[0039] The piezoelectric ceramic transducer generates high-frequency vibration of 25 kHz, and the amplitude is amplified to 8 μm through a tapered horn; through the bolt pre-tightening force adjustment device, the difference between the ultrasonic vibration frequency and the gas-solid flow impact frequency is controlled within 0.2 kHz to form a resonance effect, so that the abrasive grain impact frequency is increased to 50 kHz to refine the surface texture.
[0040] S4. Laser Real-Time Detection and Parameter Adjustment
[0041] Laser displacement sensor, with the precision set to ±1μm; Scanning at intervals of 75mm, the local Ra = 0.6μm is detected for the first time, and the roughness deviation ΔRa = 0.2μm is calculated. Based on the dynamic adjustment formula for abrasive concentration:
[0042]
[0043] In the formula, C is the real-time abrasive concentration, unit: g / m 3 , C0 is the initial concentration, v0 is the reference speed, unit: m / min, v is the real-time feed speed, and ΔRa is the roughness deviation value, unit: μm;
[0044] This formula is based on the theory of gas-solid two-phase flow impact machining, and realizes dynamic parameter compensation by establishing the coupling relationship between abrasive concentration, feed speed, and roughness deviation: When the feed speed becomes faster, the impact time of the abrasive on the guide rail will decrease, so the abrasive concentration needs to be increased in the opposite proportion of the speed to compensate; At the same time, if the surface roughness exceeds the target value by 1 micron, the abrasive concentration needs to be increased by an additional 10%. This 10% compensation ratio is determined through multiple experiments. Combining the adjustment logics of these two aspects forms the dynamic adjustment formula;
[0045] Since the current feed speed v = 0.5m / min is the same as the reference speed v0, substituting ΔRa = 0.2μm into the calculation gives the real-time concentration C = 20×1×(1 + 0.1×0.2) = 20.4g / m 3 ; The servo feeder completes the concentration adjustment within 10 seconds. After continuous processing for 2 minutes, the secondary scan shows that Ra drops to 0.35μm.
[0046] S5. Dust recovery and abrasive regeneration
[0047] The processing dust is treated in three stages: The first-stage cyclone separator separates particles larger than 5μm, the second-stage bag filter intercepts dust with a size of 0.1 - 5μm, and the third-stage activated carbon adsorbs to purify the gas. The measured emission concentration is 8mg / m 3 ; The magnetic separation device removes iron filings from the abrasive. After screening, 90% of the nano-aluminum oxide abrasives can be recycled, and the recycling rate reaches 85%.
[0048] S6. Qualified blanking
[0049] Finally, the surface roughness Ra of the detected guide rail is 0.32μm, and the straightness is 0.3mm / m, both of which are better than the process requirements; The processing cycle is 8 minutes, and the abrasive consumption is reduced by 35% compared with the traditional process.
[0050] Example 2
[0051] I. Application scenario
[0052] For austenitic stainless steel guide rails with the specification of T89B: the material is 06Cr19Ni10, the initial roughness Ra is 2.5μm, and surface finishing is carried out. The target roughness Ra ≤ 0.2μm and the straightness ≤ 0.3mm / m to meet the low-noise operation requirements of high-speed elevators at 4.0m / s.
[0053] II. Detailed process steps
[0054] S1. Guide rail positioning and parameter retrieval
[0055] Place the T89B stainless steel guide rail on an adjustable V-shaped fixture, with the bottom surface and the side guiding surface as the positioning reference. Calibrate the axis of the guide rail through a laser alignment instrument, and the positioning accuracy reaches ±0.03mm. After the fixture reads the material label of the guide rail, it automatically retrieves the preset parameters: the pitch of the Venturi nozzle is 1.5mm, the depth is 0.4mm, the initial concentration C0 of nano-aluminum oxide abrasive grains is 20g / m 3 , the ultrasonic vibration frequency is 30kHz, and the reference feed speed v0 = 0.4m / min.
[0056] S2. Initial flat processing of gas-solid two-phase flow
[0057] Start the compressed air system. The air with a pressure of 0.7MPa forms a high-speed air flow of 90m / s through the Venturi nozzle and mixes with 30nm nano-aluminum oxide abrasive grains to form a gas-solid two-phase flow. The servo screw feeder controls the abrasive grain concentration at 20g / m with an accuracy of ±0.3g / min 3 , and the nozzle moves along the axis of the guide rail at a speed of 0.4m / min, impacts for 2.5 minutes to remove the surface oxide layer, and the initial roughness is reduced to Ra1.2μm.
[0058] S3. Ultrasonic vibration assisted strengthening processing
[0059] The piezoelectric ceramic transducer generates high-frequency vibration of 30kHz, and the amplitude is amplified to 8μm through a tapered horn. Through the phase modulation system, the difference between the ultrasonic vibration frequency and the impact frequency of the gas-solid flow is controlled within 0.3kHz to form a resonance effect, so that the impact frequency of the abrasive grains is increased to 60kHz to refine the surface texture.
[0060] S4. Laser real-time detection and parameter adjustment
[0061] The laser displacement sensor has an accuracy set at ±0.5μm; it scans at intervals of 50mm. When it first detects that the local Ra = 0.35μm, calculate the roughness deviation ΔRa = 0.15μm. Based on the dynamic adjustment formula of abrasive grain concentration:
[0062]
[0063] Since the current feed rate v = 0.4 m / min is consistent with the reference speed v0, substituting ΔRa = 0.15 μm into the calculation gives the real-time concentration C = 20×1×(1 + 0.1×0.15) = 20.3 g / m 3 ; The servo feeder completes the concentration adjustment within 8 seconds. After continuous processing for 1.5 minutes, the secondary scanned Ra drops to 0.18 μm.
[0064] S5. Dust recovery and abrasive regeneration
[0065] The processing dust is treated in three stages: the first-stage cyclone separator separates particles larger than 5 μm, the second-stage bag filter intercepts dust with a size of 0.1 - 5 μm, and the third-stage activated carbon adsorber purifies the gas. The measured emission concentration is 5 mg / m 3 ; The magnetic separation device removes iron filings from the abrasives. After screening, 90% of the nano-aluminum oxide abrasives can be recycled, and the recycling rate reaches 85%.
[0066] S6. Qualified blanking
[0067] Finally, the measured surface roughness Ra of the guide rail is 0.18 μm, and the straightness is 0.25 mm / m, both of which are better than the process requirements; the processing cycle is 7 minutes, and the abrasive consumption is reduced by 40% compared with the traditional process.
[0068] Example 3
[0069] I. Application scenario
[0070] A certain high-end elevator enterprise performs surface finishing on a carbon fiber reinforced composite (CFRP) guide rail: the material is T700 / epoxy resin, and the initial roughness Ra is 3.8 μm; the target roughness is Ra ≤ 0.6 μm, and the surface hardness is ≥ 300 HV to meet the requirements of lightweight and high wear resistance.
[0071] II. Detailed process steps
[0072] S1. Guide rail positioning and parameter retrieval
[0073] Place the CFRP guide rail on an adjustable V-shaped fixture, use the bottom surface and the side guiding surface as the positioning reference, and calibrate the guide rail axis through a machine vision system with a positioning accuracy of ±0.02 mm; after the fixture reads the guide rail material label, it automatically retrieves the preset parameters: the pitch of the Venturi nozzle is 2.5 mm, the depth is 0.6 mm, the initial concentration C0 of nano-aluminum oxide abrasives is 20 g / m 3 , the ultrasonic vibration frequency is 22 kHz, and the reference feed rate v0 = 0.3 m / min.
[0074] S2. Initial planar processing of gas-solid two-phase flow
[0075] Start the compressed air system. Air with a pressure of 0.5 MPa forms a high-speed air flow of 70 m / s through a Venturi nozzle and mixes with 30 nm nano-aluminum oxide abrasive grains to form a gas-solid two-phase flow. The servo screw feeder controls the abrasive grain concentration at 20 g / m with an accuracy of ±0.2 g / min 3 , and the nozzle moves along the axis of the guide rail at a speed of 0.3 m / min and impacts for 4 minutes to remove surface burrs, reducing the initial roughness to Ra 2.0 μm.
[0076] S3. Ultrasonic vibration assisted strengthening machining
[0077] The piezoelectric ceramic transducer generates a high-frequency vibration of 22 kHz, and the amplitude is amplified to 8 μm through a tapered horn. Through the frequency modulation system, the ultrasonic vibration frequency changes periodically in the range of 22 - 23 kHz to form a beat frequency effect, making the impact energy distribution of the abrasive grains more uniform and avoiding local overheating damage to the composite material matrix.
[0078] S4. Laser real-time detection and parameter adjustment
[0079] The laser displacement sensor has an accuracy set to ±1 μm; it scans at intervals of 100 mm. When it first detects that the local Ra = 0.8 μm, the roughness deviation ΔRa = 0.2 μm is calculated. Based on the dynamic adjustment formula for abrasive grain concentration:
[0080]
[0081] Since the current feed speed v = 0.3 m / min is the same as the reference speed v, substituting ΔRa = 0.2 μm into the calculation gives the real-time concentration C = 20×1×(1 + 0.1×0.2) = 20.4 g / m 3 ; the servo feeder completes the concentration adjustment within 10 seconds, and at the same time locks the ultrasonic frequency at 22.5 kHz to enhance the removal efficiency. After continuous machining for 3 minutes, the secondary scan shows that Ra drops to 0.55 μm.
[0082] S5. Dust recovery and abrasive grain regeneration
[0083] The machining dust undergoes three-stage treatment: the first-stage cyclone separator separates particles larger than 5 μm, the second-stage bag filter intercepts dust with a size of 0.1 - 5 μm, and the third-stage activated carbon adsorption purifies the gas. The measured emission concentration is 3 mg / m 3 ; the magnetic separation device removes iron filings from the abrasive grains. After screening, 90% of the nano-aluminum oxide abrasive grains can be recycled, and the recycling rate reaches 85%.
[0084] S6. Qualified blanking
[0085] The final inspection shows that the surface roughness Ra of the guide rail is 0.55 μm, and the surface hardness is 320 HV, both of which are better than the process requirements; the processing cycle is 12 minutes, the retention rate of the interlaminar bonding strength of the composite material is ≥ 98%, and there are no defects such as fiber pull-out or matrix cracking.
[0086] Example 4
[0087] I. Application Scenario
[0088] For a carbon steel guide rail with a length of 12 m: the material is Q345, and the initial roughness Ra is 4.0 μm; surface finishing is carried out, with the target roughness Ra ≤ 0.4 μm and the full-length straightness ≤ 0.8 mm. It is necessary to overcome the processing non-uniformity caused by the self-weight deformation of the long guide rail.
[0089] II. Detailed Process Steps
[0090] S1. Guide Rail Positioning and Parameter Retrieval.
[0091] Place the 12 m ultra-long guide rail on an adjustable V-shaped fixture, use the bottom surface and the side guide surface as the positioning reference, calibrate the axis of the guide rail segment by segment through a laser tracker, and the positioning accuracy reaches ±0.05 mm. After the fixture reads the material label of the guide rail, it automatically retrieves the preset parameters: the pitch of the Venturi nozzle is 3 mm, the depth is 0.7 mm, the initial concentration c0 of nano-aluminum oxide abrasive is 20 g / m 3 , the ultrasonic vibration frequency is 28 kHz, and the reference feed speed v0 = 0.5 m / min.
[0092] S2. Initial Planarization Processing of Gas-Solid Two-Phase Flow
[0093] Divide the guide rail into 6 segments, each 2 m long; start the compressed air system, and the air with a pressure of 0.65 MPa forms a high-speed air flow of 85 m / s through the Venturi nozzle, which is mixed with 30 nm nano-aluminum oxide abrasive to form a gas-solid two-phase flow; the servo screw feeder controls the abrasive concentration at 20 g / m with an accuracy of ±0.4 g / min 3 , and the nozzle processes each segment at a speed of 0.5 m / min. The processing time for each segment is 1.5 minutes, and the initial roughness is reduced to Ra 1.8 μm.
[0094] S3. Ultrasonic Vibration-Assisted Strengthening Processing.
[0095] The piezoelectric ceramic transducer generates a high-frequency vibration of 28 kHz, and the amplitude is amplified to 8 μm through a tapered horn; in the middle section where the self-weight deformation of the guide rail is the largest, the 3rd - 4th segments, the vibration frequency is fine-tuned to 28.5 kHz to enhance the impact effect of the abrasive on the concave surface and compensate for the uneven contact caused by the deformation.
[0096] S4. Laser Real-Time Detection and Parameter Adjustment.
[0097] Laser displacement sensor, with the precision set to ±1μm; Scanning each section of the guide rail at 1m intervals, it is detected that Ra of the 3rd section is 0.6μm and Ra of the 5th section is 0.5μm. Based on the dynamic adjustment formula of abrasive concentration:
[0098] For the 3rd section: At the same time, reduce the feed speed to 0.4m / min to extend the processing time;
[0099] For the 5th section: At the same time, increase the feed speed to 0.6m / min to improve efficiency;
[0100] The servo feeder adjusts the concentration of the two sections respectively.
[0101] S5, Dust recovery and abrasive regeneration.
[0102] The processing dust is treated in three stages: the first-stage cyclone separator separates particles larger than 5μm, the second-stage bag filter intercepts dust with a size of 0.1 - 5μm, and the third-stage activated carbon adsorption purifies the gas. The measured emission concentration is 7mg / m 3 ; The magnetic separation device removes iron filings from the abrasives. After screening, 90% of the nano-aluminum oxide abrasives can be recycled, and the recycling rate reaches 85%.
[0103] S6, Qualified blanking.
[0104] Finally, it is detected that the surface roughness Ra of the entire length of the guide rail is 0.38μm, and the straightness is 0.7mm, both of which are better than the process requirements; the processing cycle is 15 minutes, and the deviation of the processing quality consistency of each section is ≤5%.
[0105] Comparative Example 1
[0106] I. Application scenario
[0107] Traditional wet grinding equipment processes 125T carbon steel guide rails identical to those in Example 1: The material is Q235, and the initial roughness is Ra3.2μm; This process relies on emulsion cooling and mechanical grinding with silicon carbide grinding wheels, representing the mainstream processing method in current small and medium-sized elevator parts factories.
[0108] II. Detailed process steps
[0109] S1, Guide rail fixation: Clamp both sides of the guide rail using a general-purpose hydraulic vise, with only the bottom surface as the single positioning reference, and without calibrating the side guiding surface; The operator aligns the guide rail axis visually, and the positioning accuracy is significantly affected by the wear of the fixture, with the measured deviation reaching ±0.15mm.
[0110] S2. Rough grinding process: Use a silicon carbide grinding wheel with a diameter of 300 mm, a grit size of 200 μm, a grinding wheel speed of 2000 r / min, a feed rate of 0.2 m / min, and spray emulsified liquid for cooling at a flow rate of 20 L / min; Remove the surface oxide scale in this stage, and the roughness is reduced to Ra1.6 μm after rough grinding, which takes 8 minutes.
[0111] S3. Semi-finish grinding process: Replace it with an alumina grinding wheel with a grit size of 100 μm, reduce the feed rate to 0.1 m / min, continue grinding for 6 minutes, and the roughness is reduced to Ra0.8 μm; During this process, the emulsified liquid is mixed with the grinding chips to form a paste-like waste liquid, and the machine tool workbench needs to be cleaned regularly during downtime.
[0112] S4. Finish grinding process: Use a diamond grinding wheel with a grit size of 50 μm, grind at a low speed of 0.05 m / min for 11 minutes, and try to further refine the surface. However, due to the insufficient accuracy of the equipment spindle, the runout error is ±0.03 mm, and finally the roughness only reaches Ra0.6 μm, and wavy defects appear in local areas due to grinding wheel clogging.
[0113] S5. Waste liquid treatment: The mixture of emulsified liquid and grinding chips is directly discharged into the industrial wastewater pipe network, and the abrasive grains are not recovered. About 50 L of waste liquid is generated per ton of guide rail processing.

[0116]
[0117] Comparative Example 2
[0118] I. Application scenario
[0119] A certain factory uses the processing equipment - the 2020 model to process the same T89B stainless steel guide rail as in Example 2: The material is 06Cr19Ni10, and the initial roughness is Ra2.5 μm; This equipment only has the function of gas-solid two-phase flow impact and does not have an ultrasonic vibration system.
[0120] II. Detailed process steps
[0121] S1. Guide rail positioning: Use a simple V-block structure, clamp the bottom surface of the guide rail by manually rotating the screw, and no positioning elements are set on the side guide surface. The positioning accuracy depends on the operator's experience, and the measured deviation is ±0.1 mm; The fixture does not integrate the function of reading the material label, and the processing parameters need to be manually input.
[0122] S2. Gas-solid flow generating device: The inner wall of the Venturi nozzle is a smooth cylindrical surface, the compressed air pressure is 0.7 MPa, the air flow velocity is 90 m / s, and it is mixed with 50 nm nano-aluminum oxide abrasive grains; The abrasive grain concentration is manually set to 25 g / m 3, conveyed by a positive displacement feeder, with a feeding accuracy of ±2 g / min.
[0123] S3. Processing process: The nozzle is fixed at the end of the cantilever beam and moves unidirectionally at a speed of 0.6 m / min to impact the surface of the guide rail once; the impact frequency of the abrasive grains is only the frequency of the gas-solid flow itself, about 20 kHz, and the impact angle has a deviation of ±15° due to the uneven movement speed of the nozzle.
[0124] S4. Detection and adjustment: After each section of the guide rail (about 2 m) is processed, the operator uses a handheld roughness meter with an accuracy of ±5 μm for manual detection. When it is found that the local roughness exceeds the standard, the abrasive grain concentration is manually adjusted through a knob, and the single adjustment takes about 2 minutes.

[0128] Comparative Example 3
[0129] I. Application scenario
[0130] Traditional sandblasting equipment processes the same carbon fiber reinforced composite (CFRP) guide rail as in Example 3: the material is T700 / epoxy resin, and the initial roughness is Ra 3.8 μm; this process uses quartz sand as the abrasive.
[0131] II. Detailed process steps
[0132] S1. Guide rail fixation: A top surface pressing type hydraulic fixture is used. The guide rail top surface is vertically pressed down by 4 hydraulic cylinders, and the side guiding surface does not contact any positioning elements, and the axis deviation of the guide rail reaches ±0.2 mm; the fixture does not consider the brittle characteristics of the composite material, and the excessive pressing force causes local indentations on the guide rail.
[0133] S2. Sandblasting parameters: Quartz sand with a particle size of 100 μm is used, with a Mohs hardness of 7, the compressed air pressure is 0.3 MPa, the sandblasting gun is 100 mm away from the guide rail surface, and it is sprayed obliquely at an angle of 30°; due to insufficient pressure and abrasive grain dispersion, it takes 5 minutes of repeated sandblasting to remove the surface burrs; the phenomenon of quartz sand fragmentation is observed during the process, and the fragmentation rate is about 30%.
[0134] S3. Processing defect treatment: After sandblasting, it is found that there are fiber pull-out and resin cracking phenomena on the guide rail surface, and manual sandpaper polishing is used for 4 minutes to remove the protruding fibers.
[0135] S4. Detection and Testing: The surface hardness was detected by a microhardness tester, with an average value of 260 HV; the interlayer bonding strength was tested by the short beam shear method, with a retention rate of 85%.

[0138] Comparative Example 4
[0139] I. Application Scenario
[0140] Ultra-long guide rail processing technology, processing the same 12m carbon steel guide rail as in Example 4: The material is Q345, and the initial roughness is Ra4.0μm; this process relies on manual segmented calibration and parameter adjustment, representing a traditional process without automation.
[0141] II. Detailed Process Steps
[0142] S1. Guide Rail Support: A fixed support bracket was set every 2m on the processing platform, and the height of the guide rail was adjusted section by section using a hydraulic jack; the operator manually calibrated the axis through a laser collimator and a micrometer, and each section of calibration required repeated adjustment 3 - 5 times, with a cumulative time consumption of 30 minutes, and the final positioning accuracy was ±0.1mm.
[0143] S2. Segmented Machining: The guide rail was divided into 6 sections, each 2m long. The nozzle was fixed above the processing area, and the guide rail was moved by a crane to achieve segmented machining; before each section of machining, the operator set the abrasive concentration according to experience, usually between 25 - 30g / m 3 There is no formulaic calculation basis.
[0144] S3. Parameter Adjustment: When machining the 3rd section, it was found by manual touch detection that the surface was relatively rough, and the concentration was increased from 25g / m 3 to 30g / m 3 based on experience. However, due to the response delay of the feeding system, about 1.5 minutes, the first half of this section was over-machined, and the roughness dropped to Ra0.3μm, and there were pits in the second half due to excessive concentration.
[0145] S4. Straightness Compensation: In the middle section, the 3rd - 4th sections, due to the self-weight of the guide rail sagging by 0.5mm, the dynamic frequency adjustment function was not enabled, and only the machining time was extended from 1.5 minutes to 2 minutes for compensation. However, due to the fixed impact angle of the gas-solid flow, the concave surface could not be effectively corrected, and the measured straightness deviation reached 1.2mm.
[0146] S5. Post-processing: The difference in machining parameters for each section resulted in a roughness fluctuation range of 0.45 - 0.7μm, and an additional 20 minutes were required for global homogenization processing.
