Electrostatically Planted Diamond Polishing Film

GET INFORMATION
  • Description
  • Electrostatically Planted Diamond Polishing Film

    Core Definition and Technical Background

    The electrostatically planted diamond polishing film is a superhard polishing material that vertically implants diamond abrasives into substrates (such as polyester films or non-woven fabrics) using electrostatic field forces. The core technology lies in the ordered arrangement of diamond abrasives via electrostatic sand planting, which improves cutting efficiency by 30%–50% compared to traditional pressing methods. It is particularly suitable for precision polishing of hard materials (e.g., tungsten carbide, ceramics, sapphire).

    Structure and Process Principle

    1. Three-Layer Core Structure

    ComponentMaterial CharacteristicsFunction
    Base LayerPolyester film (PET)/non-woven/metal foilProvides mechanical support, wear resistance, and tear resistance
    Bonding LayerEpoxy resin/polyurethane adhesiveFixes abrasives and ensures bonding strength between abrasives and the base
    Abrasive LayerDiamond micropowder (particle size 1–100μm)Directly participates in polishing, determining cutting efficiency and precision

    Technical Trends

    • Nano-abrasive integration: Developing nano-diamond polishing films (particle size <0.1μm) for atomic-level surface finishing in quantum chip substrates.

    • Flexible substrate innovation: Using polyimide (PI) films to enable polishing of curved surfaces (e.g., 3D glass for smartphones).

    • Eco-friendly technology: Replacing solvent-based adhesives with water-based systems to reduce VOC emissions.





    Classification and Application Scenarios

    1. Classification by grit size

    • Coarse grinding type (80#–200#): Removes oxide layers or casting defects from tungsten carbide blanks, used with surface grinders.

    • Fine grinding type (500#–2000#): Refines surface texture for pre-polishing, suitable for pre-processing hard alloy tool edges.

    • Polishing type (above 5000#): Achieves mirror finishes, commonly used in semiconductor silicon wafers, optical lenses, and jewelry processing.



    Principle of Electrostatic Sand Planting

    • Key Steps:

      1. Substrate pretreatment: Clean the substrate and apply a uniform adhesive layer.

      2. Electrostatic field establishment: Generate a strong electric field (50–100kV) via a high-voltage electrostatic generator, charging abrasive particles for adsorption.

      3. Vertical implantation of abrasives: Charged diamond particles "stand" vertically in the adhesive layer under the electric field (as shown in Figure 1), maximizing the exposure of cutting edges.

      4. Curing and shaping: Harden the adhesive via thermal curing (60–120°C) or UV curing to fix abrasive positions.

    • Comparison with compression method:

      Compression methodRandom and disorderedLow (abrasives 倒伏)Poor (localized wear)50%–70%



    Performance Advantages and Technical Indicators

    1. Core Advantages

    • Efficiency improvement: Vertical abrasive arrangement concentrates the cutting force of single particles, achieving a material removal rate of 0.1–0.5 mm/h for tungsten carbide polishing (only 0.05 mm/h with traditional sandpaper).

    • Precision control: Enables surface roughness Ra ≤ 0.05 μm (mirror finish), with abrasive layer thickness tolerance ≤ ±5 μm.

    • Extended service life: Uniform abrasive stress makes the polishing film last 3–5 times longer than ordinary sandpaper (e.g., 1000# polishing film can process 500 tungsten carbide blades).

    • Strong adaptability: Suitable for complex shapes (planes, curves, inner holes), even for microhole polishing with diameters ≤1 mm.
