Subsurface damage of constrained abrasive jet polishing based on SPH method
摘要
To address the challenges of subsurface damage (SSD) and inefficient material removal in hard brittle materials, this study investigates the mechanisms of constrained abrasive jet polishing (CAJP). CAJP minimizes the normal impact force and stabilizes abrasive flow, thereby reducing surface damage and achieving a smooth surface finish. Nano-scratch experiments revealed three distinct stages in K9 glass material removal: plastic removal, plastic-brittle transition, and brittle removal, with the plastic-brittle transition stage identified as the optimal polishing window. A numerical model simulating single silicon carbide particle impact on K9 glass was developed using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method. The effects of impact velocity, impact angle, and abrasive particle diameter on material removal efficiency and subsurface damage were systematically analyzed. Results indicate that increasing impact velocity and abrasive particle size promote brittle removal and exacerbate subsurface crack propagation. When the impact angle ranged between
