Abstract
Cordierite materials can be used as a reflected optical surface for astronomical space and ground-based telescope due to their high rigidity and low CTE(Coefficient of Thermal Expansion) which is ±1.94×10⁻⁸ m/°C. Using Cordierite materials in astronomical telescopes requires polishing techniques to control quantitatively. Therefore, it is essential to study the material removal properties using Tool Influence Function (TIF), which plays an important role in improving optical performance. In this paper, we introduce the characteristics of the initial Tool Influence Function (TIF) on Cordierite and SiC substrates. As a result, a material removal coefficient of 22.38 was obtained for Cordierite, while SiC achieved a coefficient of 6.01. Additionally, the repeatability was 95.73% ± 1.98 for Cordierite and 89.74% ± 4.39 for SiC.
