半个世纪以来,人们对光学玻璃抛光机理的探论提出过种种见解,至今尚无统一认识。在讨论影响光学抛光因素的时候,往往只强调某一方面的作用。过去玻璃抛光的研究,大多集中于抛光机床、抛光模材料的选择和抛光粉的物理性能等工艺条件和工艺参数上,而对影响玻璃抛光效果因素的综合因素考虑较少,尤其是对各种牌号的光学玻璃在抛光中显示的不同化学性质,对各类抛光液的化学性质以及这两者在抛光中的关系,常被大多数人忽视。

For half a century, many opinions have been put forward on the mechanism of optical glass polishing, and there is no unified understanding yet. The effect of one aspect is often emphasized when the factors affecting optical polishing are discussed. The past research mostly focused on glass polishing, polishing machine, polishing materials selection and polishing powder physical properties of process conditions and process parameters, and considering the factors of small glass polishing effect, especially the different chemical properties of various brands of optical glass display in polishing, chemical properties of all kinds of polishing solution and the relation between them in the polishing process, often overlooked by most people.

依据长期的实践,对抛光机理的认识,我们倾向综合论的解释,即视抛光过程为物理与化学作用的综合,两者作用存在于抛光过程始末。光学玻瑞的抛光是个极为复杂的过程,影响因素也是极为复杂的。
Based on long-term practice, the understanding of polishing mechanism, we tend to explain the comprehensive theory, that is, the polishing process is the combination of physical and chemical action, both of them exist in the whole process of polishing. Optical glass polishing is a very complicated process, the influence factors are very complicated.
以上各种因素,在一定情况下,对光学零件的抛光速度和表面质量都起着一定作用,但有些因素所起的作用比较突出,如光学玻璃的类型,和抛光液的种类,就所有的光学玻璃而言,各有其不同性质,但部分牌号玻璃也有类似或相同之性质。实践表明,光学零件的抛光,必须区别不同种类的光学玻璃而选择相适应的抛光条件。
All the factors above, in certain circumstances, the polishing speed of the optical parts and the surface quality plays a certain role, but that some factors are more prominent, such as the type of optical glass, types and polishing of optical glass, all, each have different properties, but also some brands of glass have the same or similar nature. The practice shows that the polishing of optical parts must distinguish the different kinds of optical glass and choose the suitable polishing condition.
