4. Conclusions
- (1)
- As the temperature increases from 30 °C to 50 °C, the peak viscosity of the STPS decreases from 0.81 Pa·s to 0.49 Pa·s. An increase in temperature prolongs the shear-thinning stage and shifts the critical shear rate for shear thickening to a higher value, requiring a higher shear rate to trigger the thickening effect.
- (2)
- In the high-speed video of the workpiece subjected to a frontal impact, the STPS exhibits solid-like properties in the local thickening area, and the thickening layer forms wavy cracks under the action of shear stress and impact force. As the temperature rises, the thermal motion of the particles increases, and the stability of the particle clusters may decrease, which is manifested as a weakening of the shear-thickening effect in the image and an increase in fluidity. When the temperature increases from 30 °C to 50 °C, the wavy cracks decrease and almost disappear, which may be the reason for the decrease in polishing force and MRR.
- (3)
- As the temperature of the STPS rises, the initial polishing force on the workpiece decreases. The decrease is initially rapid, followed by a gradual slowing down. The polishing force decreases by 46.4% from 30 °C to 40 °C and by 55.1% from 40 °C to 50 °C, exhibiting an exponential decline.
- (4)
- When the temperature increases from 30 °C to 50 °C, the average polishing force decreases from 25.3 N to 22.6 N, a 10.6% reduction, while MRR decreases from 33.5 nm/min to 7.9 nm/min, a 75.5% reduction. This is due to the weakening of the holding force between the particle clusters and the abrasive and solid particles at higher temperatures, a phenomenon that makes them more likely to disintegrate upon impact with the workpiece, preventing effective material removal. Furthermore, the reduction in surface roughness becomes more pronounced with increasing temperature, with the final surface morphology approaching its initial state.
