The invention discloses a ZnSe semi-cylindrical mirror development process. The invention provides the ZnSe semi-cylindrical mirror development process in order to overcome the defects existing in theprior art. The ZnSe semi-cylindrical mirror development process includes the following steps that S1, according to the product size (R12.7*12.7*25.4), a corresponding face mirror base material is selected for use, and the size is 28*27*14; S2, disk forming for
machining the base material is performed, the whole
disk size consistency can be guaranteed well due to ring
grinding machining, and six surfaces are machined; S3, ring
polishing of the 27*25.4 face is performed till the size is 27*25.4*13.5(0 / -0.005); S4, two semi-finished products where ring
polishing is completed are taken, the two polished faces (27*25.4) are glued with photosensitive glue, the plane finish degree is guaranteed well, and the size of the semi-finished products after being glued is 27*27*25.4, edge
grinding is performed, and edge
grinding is performed till the outer
diameter D25.6(0 / -0.02) size is achieved; and S7, the two products are dismantled, the plane photosensitive glue is removed, disk feeding is performed, low
polishing machining of a product cylindrical face is performed, and the
client requirement is met; and the product consumption size is consistent before polishing, and the polishing machining size consumption is about 0.02; and S8, disk discharging is performed, cleaning is performed, edge chamfering is performed, and a product is completed. The ZnSe semi-cylindrical mirror development process utilizes a conventional cuboid base material, and cost is effectively saved.
