The particle size distribution of resin abrasive directly affects the polishing efficiency. Abrasives with uniform particle size distribution can provide consistent cutting force, making the polishing process smoother and more efficient. When the abrasive particles are too large, the cutting action is too strong, which may cause scratches or unevenness on the polished surface; when the abrasive particles are too small, the cutting action is weakened and the polishing efficiency is reduced. Therefore, choosing the right particle size distribution is crucial to improving polishing efficiency.
Resin abrasives with uniform particle size distribution can form a more delicate surface during the polishing process. This is because abrasives with uniform particle size can evenly remove tiny bumps on the surface of the material, avoiding local over-polishing or under-polishing. This delicate polished surface helps to improve the aesthetics and performance of the product.
The particle size distribution of resin abrasive also affects the material removal rate. Abrasives with larger particle sizes have stronger cutting ability and can quickly remove a large amount of material; while abrasives with smaller particle sizes are suitable for fine polishing, removing a small amount of material to achieve a higher surface quality. Therefore, choosing the right particle size distribution according to the polishing needs can balance the relationship between material removal rate and surface quality.
The particle size distribution also has a certain impact on the polishing cost. Abrasives with uniform particle size distribution can reduce waste and repetitive labor during polishing, thereby reducing polishing costs. At the same time, suitable particle size distribution can also extend the service life of polishing tools and further reduce polishing costs.
Different materials have different polishing requirements, and there are also different requirements for the particle size distribution of resin abrasives. For example, for materials with higher hardness, it is necessary to select abrasives with larger particle sizes to improve cutting ability; for soft or easily deformed materials, it is necessary to select abrasives with smaller particle sizes to avoid scratching the surface.
