A study was performed to investigate edge performance as a function of the mechanical edge profile. There are many edge profiles to consider. A baseline set of curved, straight and corner edge profiles was chosen for MRF finishing and analysis. Each sample edge profile was subjected to a series of uniform removal MRF finishing runs, only considered the leading edge. The results of this study provide a starting point for further investigation and mitigation of edge effects for different profiles during MRF finishing.
This conference presentation was prepared for the Advances in Optical and Mechanical Technologies for Telescopes and Instrumentation V conference at SPIE Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation, 2022.
