Application of Single Point Diamond Turning in Infrared Optics

摘要

Non-ferrous metal, crystal material, infrared glass and so on are widely used in the infrared optical system, they can be cut directly by single point diamond turning, so single point diamond turning technology was soon applied to infrared optical elements processing, which can be understood that infrared optics are main application areas of single point diamond turning. This paper introduced the application of the infrared optical elements which are processed by single point diamond turning in weapon system, including the processing methods and processing equipments of typical infrared optical elements. Finally, the development status of single point diamond turning at home and abroad was compared.
