Technological Approaches to Thermomechanical Processing of Quartz Glass Parts

Abstract

The article discusses technological approaches applied to the processing of products made of quartz glass and used as components of gyroscopes and navigation devices. The developed block diagram of technological processes gives an idea of the life cycle of manufacturing a sensitive element - a gyroscope resonator, as well as input and output parameters at each of the manufacturing processes. Simulation of thermomechanical processing of samples in CAE Ansys with specified parameters of surface roughness gives an idea of the course of the process and technological modes. The selected temperature regimes make it possible to design a thermomechanical treatment process in order to carry out a practical study of the process.
