Abstract
A novel droplet generator equipped with flow-control has been developed for the formation of high speed, high frequency consecutive droplets up to 80m/s, 150k drops/s. The high speed water droplets with abrasive using this generator have been studied for surface polishing to gain a smooth, reflective surface. The droplets and jet polishing were compared at same conditions for processing speed and for processed surface roughness. Glasses with optically polished and frosted were used. The differences were small at experimental conditions.
