Study on Contact Friction between Polishing Disk and Workpiece during Face Polishing with ANSYS

Since almost large die surfaces are free-form surfaces, currently, these are almost manually implemented. In order to overcome this barrier, floating polishing is a feasible polishing technology. The contact friction between polishing disk and workpiece is a key problem of floating polishing technology. This paper tries to study the contact friction between polishing disk and workpiece with ANSYS analysis software. At first, the paper focuses on the contact friction between polishing disk and plane workpiece by ANSYS analysis software, then focuses on the contact friction between polishing disk and cylinder and sphere workpiece with the software. The analysis results show the hypothesis of full friction condition is feasible. The research results will be used for developing the floating polishing.
