Kwicandelo elichanekileyo le-metrology echanekileyo kunye nokuveliswa kobuchwepheshe obuphezulu, ukuchaneka kwalo naluphi na umlinganiselo kuthintelwe ngokusisiseko kukuzinza kwendawo ebhekisele kuyo. Nokuba ixhasa iCoordinate Measuring Machine (CMM), esebenza njengepleyiti ephambili yomphezulu, okanye yenza isiseko solwakhiwo lwesixhobo somatshini ochanekileyo, izinto ezikhethiweyo kwesi siseko sisigqibo esibalulekileyo sobunjineli. Njengoko amashishini afana ne-aerospace, i-semiconductor manufacturing, kunye nobunjineli beemoto etyhalela phambili ekunyamezeleni okuqinileyo ngakumbi—ngokufuthi esiya kuluhlu lwe-sub-micron—ingxoxo malunga nezinto ezifanelekileyo kwezi zinto zisisiseko iye yanda. Abaphikisi abathathu abaphambili kweli candelo yiCast Iron, Granite, kunye neAdvanced Technical Ceramics. Izinto nganye zibonelela ngeprofayili eyahlukileyo yeempawu zomzimba, izibonelelo, imida, kunye neziphumo zeendleko. Olu hlalutyo lupheleleyo luya kuhlola iimpawu zegranite, ceramic, kunye ne-cast iron, lubonelela ngothelekiso oluneenkcukacha ukukhokela iinjineli kunye neengcali ze-metro ekukhetheni izinto ezifanelekileyo kakhulu kwizicelo zabo zokulinganisa ngokuchanekileyo.

Kangangeminyaka engaphezu kwekhulu, isinyithi esityhidiweyo sisebenze njengesiseko esingenakuphikiswa sokulinganisa amashishini kunye nokwakhiwa kwezixhobo zoomatshini. Ulawulo lwayo lwembali lusekelwe kudibaniso olulodwa lweempawu zoomatshini ezenza ukuba ifaneleke kakhulu kwiimfuno zemimandla yemveli yokuvelisa.

Inzuzo ephambili yesinyithi esityhidiweyo ikukuqina kwayo okungaqhelekanga kunye nokuqina kwesakhiwo. Nge-modulus ephezulu yokuthamba, amaqonga esinyithi esityhidiweyo anokuxhasa imithwalo emikhulu ngaphandle kokujika kakhulu. Olu phawu lwenza isinyithi esityhidiweyo sibe yinto engabalulekanga kwizicelo ezinzima, ezinje ngokuhlanganiswa nokuhlolwa kweebhloko ezinkulu zeenjini okanye izinto ezinkulu zesakhiwo seenqwelo-moya, apho ubunzima bomsebenzi bunokonakalisa izinto ezingaqinanga kangako.

Ngaphezu koko, isinyithi esityhidiweyo siyaziwa ngamandla aso abalaseleyo okudambisa ukungcangcazela. Ulwakhiwo lwesinyithi esingwevu esityhidiweyo luqulathe ii-graphite flakes, ezisebenza njengeendawo zokungqubana kwangaphakathi, ezifunxa kwaye zichitha amandla okungcangcazela ngempumelelo. Kwimeko-bume yevenkile eguquguqukayo—ebonakaliswa kukuhamba koomatshini abanzima, ii-forklifts, kunye nee-stamping presses—ezi ngcangcazelo zinokuphazamisa kakhulu imilinganiselo ebuthathaka. Amandla esinyithi esityhidiweyo okunciphisa ezi ngxaki aqinisekisa ukuba imilinganiselo ihlala izinzile nokuba kwiimeko ezingafanelekanga.

Ukongeza, isinyithi esityhidiweyo kulula ukusifaka ngomatshini nokusikrwela. Ubugcisa bendabuko bokukrwela ngesandla buvumela iingcali ezinobuchule ukuba zenze umphezulu ochanekileyo kakhulu one "indawo zokuthwala" ezithile. Ezi ndawo zinokubamba ioyile yokuthambisa, nto leyo enciphisa ukungqubana kwezinto ezityibilikayo kunye nezixhobo zokulinganisa, nto leyo eyenza kube lula ukusebenza kakuhle. Ngokwembono yeendleko, isinyithi esityhidiweyo ngokubanzi sesona sifikelelekayo kwezi zinto zintathu, zombini ngokwezinto eziluhlaza kunye neenkqubo zokuvelisa.

Nangona ixhaphake kakhulu kwimbali yayo, isinyithi esityhidiweyo sineengxaki ezibalulekileyo ezithintela ukusetyenziswa kwayo kwi-metrology yanamhlanje, echanekileyo kakhulu. Eyona ngxaki iphambili yi-coefficient yayo ephezulu yokwandiswa kobushushu (CTE), ngokuqhelekileyo malunga ne-11 × 10⁻⁶/°C. Isinyithi siyanda kwaye sinciphe ngokuphawulekayo nangona kukho ukuguquguquka okuncinci kobushushu. Kwiindawo ezingenalawulo oluqinileyo lwemozulu, ukujikeleza kobushushu bemihla ngemihla kwefektri kunokubangela ukuba ipleyiti yesinyithi esityhidiweyo igobe okanye itshintshe ubukhulu, nto leyo ekhokelela ekutshintsheni komlinganiselo okungamkelekanga. Ukuze kugcinwe ukuchaneka okuphezulu, isinyithi esityhidiweyo sifuna imeko-bume yobushushu engaguqukiyo, nto leyo enyusa kakhulu iindleko zokusebenza kwesakhiwo.

Ngaphezu koko, intsimbi ephosiweyo isengozini enkulu yokugqwala. Ngaphandle kokugcinwa okungqongqo nokuqhubekayo, kuquka ukucocwa rhoqo ngeoyile, umhlwa unokwenzeka ngokukhawuleza. Umhlwa ufaka umphezulu, utshabalalise ngokusisigxina ukuchaneka kwesixhobo. Intsimbi ephosiweyo ikwasengozini yokonakala ngendlela ethile: ukuba into enzima iwiswa kuyo, intsimbi ephosiweyo iyajika kwaye inyuse "i-burr" - umqolo wesinyithi ophumayo. Le ngqukuva iya kuphakamisa iiprobe zokulinganisa okanye izinto zokusebenza, ibangele iimpazamo zokulinganisa kwangoko, kwaye kufuneka ityunyuzwe ngononophelo ukuze kubuyiselwe ubume bomphezulu.

Kwisiqingatha sokugqibela senkulungwane yama-20, i-granite yavela njengendlela engcono kakhulu ye-metrology echanekileyo, ikakhulu ithatha indawo yesinyithi esityhidiweyo kwiziseko ze-CMM kunye neepleyiti zomphezulu zelebhu. Ivela kwiindlela zendalo eziqiniweyo eziye zahlala zizinzile kwiminyaka eyi-2000, i-granite inika uzinzo lwangaphakathi olunzima ukuba izinto ezenziwe ngumntu ziphindaphindeke.

Eyona nzuzo ibalulekileyo yegranite kukuba i-coefficient yayo ephantsi kakhulu yokwandiswa kobushushu, idla ngokuba malunga ne-5.6 × 10⁻⁶/°C, ephantse ibe sisiqingatha sesinyithi esityhidiweyo. Olu zinzo lobushushu luthetha ukuba amaqonga egranite axolela kakhulu utshintsho lobushushu obuphakathi. Asebenza njengezinki zobushushu obuphakathi, egcina ubunzulu bawo kunye nobukhulu bawo nakwiindawo apho ulawulo olugqibeleleyo lwemozulu kunzima ukulwenza. Oku kwenza igranite ibe lolona khetho lufanelekileyo lokugcina ukunyamezelana okungqongqo ixesha elide.

Ngaphaya kweempawu zayo zobushushu, i-granite ayisebenzi ngokweekhemikhali. Ayigqwali, kwaye ayisebenzi kwizinto ezipholisayo, iioyile, okanye ii-asidi ezifumaneka kwiindawo zokwenza imveliso. Olu hlobo lokungagqwali lunciphisa kakhulu umthwalo wokugcinwa xa kuthelekiswa nentsimbi ephosiweyo; ukusula ngokulula ngesicoci esifanelekileyo kudla ngokwanela ukugcina umphezulu ukwimeko entle.

Enye ipropati ekhethekileyo neyingenelo kakhulu yegranite yindlela esebenza ngayo xa itshayiswa. Ngokungafaniyo nentsimbi ephoswe ngesinyithi, ephakamisa i-burr, igranite sisakhiwo esibuthathaka nesikrwada. Xa itshayiswa yinto enzima, idla ngokuqhekeza okanye i-crater. Kwimeko yokulinganisa, i-depression (crater) ayinobungozi kangako ekuchanekeni kune-protrusion (burr), njengoko ingaphakamisi i-probe yokulinganisa okanye inxalenye ehlolwayo. Umphezulu ojikelezileyo uhlala uthe tyaba, uqinisekisa ukuba i-plane yokuhlolwa iyonke ayichaphazeleki. Ngaphezu koko, igranite ngokwemvelo ayinamagnethi kwaye ayiqhubi ngombane, nto leyo ibalulekileyo ekuhloleni izinto ze-elektroniki okanye izinto zemagnethi ezibuthathaka apho ukuphazamiseka kwe-electromagnetic kufuneka kuthintelwe ngokungqongqo.

Nangona igranite isemgangathweni weshishini, ayiphelelwanga yimida yayo. Njengento ebuthathaka, iphatha imithwalo engashukumiyo kakuhle kodwa inokumelana okuncinci xa kuthelekiswa nokuqina kwentsimbi. Ukubetha okukhulu kunokuqhekeza okanye kuqhekeze ilitye, okubangela ukuba lingasebenzi. Ukongeza, igranite inemingxuma kancinci. Ukuba ayivalwanga kakuhle okanye ukuba ayilunganga, kusetyenziswa izinto zokucoca ezisekelwe emanzini, inokufunxa umswakama, nto leyo enokubangela ukugoba okuncinci ixesha elide.

I-granite nayo inzima, ifuna izakhiwo ezixhasayo eziqinileyo, kwaye kunzima ukuyitshintsha. Ngokungafaniyo nentsimbi ephosiweyo, umntu akanakugrumba nje aze acofe ipleyiti ye-granite ukuze afake izinto ezenziwe ngokwezifiso ngaphandle kwezixhobo ezikhethekileyo kunye nomngcipheko omkhulu wokubeka esichengeni ubume besakhiwo okanye ukuthamba komphezulu.

Njengoko iimfuno zokuvelisa zingena kwicandelo le-nanometer, ingakumbi kumashishini e-semiconductor kunye ne-optics aphambili, iiseramikhi zobugcisa (ezifana ne-Alumina okanye i-Silicon Carbide) zingene kwicandelo le-metrology njengezixhobo zokusebenza okuphezulu.

Iiceramics zenzelwe ukubonelela ngokusebenza okungenakuthelekiswa nanto kwiizicelo ezifuna kakhulu. Uphawu lwazo olubalaseleyo yi-coefficient ephantsi kakhulu yokwandiswa kobushushu, idla ngokuba kufutshane ne-zero kwaye iphantsi kakhulu kune-granite. Oku kuqinisekisa ukuba isakhiwo sokulinganisa sihlala singaguquguquki nokuba kukho ii-gradients zobushushu, nto leyo ebonelela ngozinzo olupheleleyo lobukhulu.

Ngaphezu koko, iiseramikhi zobugcisa zibonelela ngokuqina okuthile (umlinganiselo wokuqina ukuya kuxinano) ongcono kakhulu kunegranite kunye nentsimbi ephosweyo. Iiseramikhi ziqinile kakhulu kodwa zikhaphukhaphu kakhulu. Olu phawu lubalulekile kuyilo lwezakhiwo ezihambayo, ezifana neebhulorho zeCMM okanye izigaba ezithe kratya zomgca. Uhlobo olukhaphukhaphu luvumela ukukhawulezisa okukhawulezileyo—ukwandisa ukudlula kokuhlolwa—ngelixa ukuqina okugqithisileyo kuthintela ukungcangcazela okanye ukuphambuka ngexesha lokulinganisa okunamandla.

Iiseramikhi nazo ziqinile kakhulu, zihlala zinzima kakhulu kunegranite, zinika ukumelana nokuguguleka okuphezulu kwimigca yemveliso enamandla aphezulu okanye xa kulinganiswa izinto ezirhabaxa. Obu bunzima bugqithisileyo buthetha ubomi obunokudlula obo bentsimbi nelitye, bugcina ubuqotho bejometri obucocekileyo ngexesha elide lokusetyenziswa kakhulu. Njengegranite, iiseramikhi azinawo amandla ngokweekhemikhali, azinawo amandla okwenza izinto, kwaye azinawo amandla okwenza izinto zibe mdaka.

Umqobo ophambili ekusetyenzisweni ngokubanzi kwezixhobo zokulinganisa zeseramikhi lixabiso lazo. Iseramikhi ibiza kakhulu ukuyivelisa kunesinyithi esitshisiweyo okanye igranite, ingakumbi kwiisikali ezinkulu. Inkqubo yokuvelisa ibandakanya ukucutshungulwa okuntsonkothileyo kunye nokugaywa ngokuchanekileyo, okuthatha ixesha elininzi kwaye kufuna amandla amaninzi. Kwiitafile zokuhlola ezinkulu, ixabiso leseramikhi ezicutshungulweyo lidla ngokuba liphezulu kakhulu, okwenza igranite ibe lolona khetho lufanelekileyo ngokwezoqoqosho lokufikelela kwi-flatness epheleleyo.

Ukongeza, nangona ziqinile kakhulu, iiseramikhi zezona zibuthathaka kakhulu kwezi zinto zintathu malunga noxinzelelo lokuxinana kunye nefuthe. Azinakumelana kakuhle nomthwalo onzima okanye amandla okugoba kwaye zisengozini yokuqhekeka okukhulu ukuba ziwiswe okanye zingaphathwanga kakuhle. Ngenxa yoko, iseramikhi ayisetyenziswa rhoqo kwiiplati zomgangatho wevenkile, endaweni yoko igcinelwe ukusetyenziswa okukhethekileyo apho ukuchaneka kwe-sub-micron kuyimfuneko epheleleyo kwaye uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali luyavuma.

Xa kukhethwa izixhobo ezifanelekileyo zokulinganisa ngokuchanekileyo, iinjineli kufuneka zilinganisele ngononophelo iimfuno zokusebenza, iimeko zokusingqongileyo, kunye nemida yohlahlo-lwabiwo mali.

Isinyithi esitshisiweyo sihlala siyindlela efanelekileyo nengabizi kakhulu yokwenziwa kwemveliso ngokubanzi, ukwenziwa okunzima, kunye nokuhlolwa komgangatho wevenkile apho ukuchaneka okugqithisileyo kungengoyena mqhubi uphambili. Amandla ayo okumelana nobunzima bemeko-bume yemveliso enzima, kunye nokunciphisa kwayo ukungcangcazela okugqwesileyo kunye nomthamo wayo ophezulu wokuthwala umthwalo, kuyenza ifaneleke kwizicelo ezinzima. Ifanelekile ngakumbi xa uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali lungaphelelanga, kwaye iziko linokulawula ukugcinwa okufunekayo ukuthintela umhlwa kunye nolawulo lokusingqongileyo ukunciphisa ukwanda kobushushu.

I-Granite yeyona ntshatsheli ingenakuphikiswa kwizicelo ezininzi ze-metrology echanekileyo. Kwiilabhoratri zolawulo lomgangatho, iziseko ze-CMM, kunye neepleyiti zomphezulu ezichanekileyo, i-granite inika "indawo entle" phakathi kokusebenza okuphezulu kunye nokulula kokusebenza. Uzinzo lwayo oluphezulu lobushushu, ukungakhuseleki kumhlwa, kunye nokuziphatha okuhle kwempembelelo (ukutshipha endaweni yokubhoboza) kuyenza ibe ngumgangatho weshishini. I-Granite ibonelela ngeplani yesalathiso ethembekileyo, engadingi kulungiswa kakhulu eqinisekisa ukuchaneka ngaphandle kweendleko eziphezulu ezinxulumene neeseramikhi eziphambili.

Iiceramics eziphucukileyo zezona zinto zikhethwayo kumacandelo e-ultra-high-tech apho isantya esiphezulu, ukuqina, kunye nokuzinza kobushushu kungenakuxoxiswana. Izicelo ezifana nezixhobo ze-semiconductor lithography, ukuhlolwa kwee-aerospace turbine blade, kunye nezixhobo ezihambayo ze-CMM ezichanekileyo kakhulu zizuza kakhulu kukuqina okulula kunye nokwanda kobushushu obuphantse bube zero kweeceramics. Iiceramics kufuneka zikhethwe xa isicelo sifuna ukuchaneka kwe-sub-micron kwiindawo eziguquguqukayo, kwaye utyalo-mali olukhulu lunokuqinisekiswa yinzuzo yokusebenza efunekayo.

Ukukhethwa kwezinto ezisetyenziselwa ukulinganisa ngokuchanekileyo—nokuba zisinyithi esitshisiweyo, igranite, okanye iseramikhi—akusiyonto yokuchonga ukhetho oluphezulu kwihlabathi liphela, kodwa kukuhambelana neempawu zomzimba ezithile zezinto ezifunekayo. Isinyithi esitshisiweyo sinika ukuqina okuqinileyo kunye nokunciphisa ukungcangcazela kwimizi-mveliso enzima; igranite ibonelela ngozinzo olubalulekileyo lobushushu kunye nokugcinwa okuncinci okufunekayo kwi-metrology esemgangathweni echanekileyo; kwaye iiseramikhi eziphambili zityhala imida yesantya kunye nokuchaneka kwezicelo zobuchwepheshe ezigqithisileyo. Ngokuqonda iingenelo kunye nemida yesixhobo ngasinye, abavelisi kunye neengcali zemetro banokwenza izigqibo ezinolwazi eziqinisekisa ukuthembeka kwemilinganiselo yabo, baphucule utyalo-mali lwabo, kwaye bagcine imigangatho ephezulu yomgangatho kwindawo yemizi-mveliso echanekileyo ngakumbi.
