This volume of journal "Materials Science Forum" was collected by results of 19th International Symposium on Advances in Abrasive Technology (ISAAT 2016, Stockholm, Sweden, October 2-5, 2016) and intended to disseminate the recent advances in both conventional and nonconventional technologies of materials removal and covers many aspects of modern scientific and engineering practice in area of materials machining. Topics include: grinding and polishing, abrasive fine-finishing, micro- and nanomachining, ultrasonic and laser machining, surface integrity and materials characterization, as well as other advanced cutting technologies and etc. This book will be useful for academics and practicing engineers in advancement of the efficient materials removal technologies for modern mechanical engineering.
The papers were selected for this volume on the basis of their quality and relevance to the topic of abrasive technology. The volume presents the reader with recent advances in the field of abrasive technology; including the mechanics and control of abrasive processes, modeling, simulation and optimization of abrasive processes, green and clean production in abrasive processes, measurement and surface-quality assessment, cooling and coolants, polishing, wheel-truing and dressing, novel abrasive techniques and novel machining techniques. It will therefore be of great value to production and research engineers, research students and academics working in the field.
Abrasive technologies are central to modern manufacturing as applied to a wide variety of products covering many disciplines: from nanoscale components to large-scale equipment, and from biomedical devices to aerospace structures.
Extensive research during the past 30 years has provided a relatively complete understanding of the many diverse aspects of abrasive processes which are suitable for the final machining of components that require smooth surfaces and precise tolerances. Although widely used in industry, abrasive treatments remain perhaps the least understood of all machining processes. Advances in the field of abrasive processes are therefore of great fundamental and practical interest.
