Manufacturing Methods and Technology for Production Hot Forging of Alkali Halide Lenses.

Abstract

The forged-to-shape process has been examined and optimized. The original process demonstrated the feasibility of forging alkali halide single crystals into lenses without the use of conventional lens polishing and figuring techniques. The process had not been optimized with respect to cost or quantity production. In the first portion of this program, the process has been examined and refined. The new process is now in a form which can be readily applied to a production environment.
