This book brings together the latest developments in, and applications of, abrasive technology. The topics covered include: grinding and grinding wheels, truing and dressing techniques for grinding wheels, finishing, lapping, honing and polishing, abrasive-jet machining, advances in machining technologies, micro/nano-fabrication, as well as other novel technologies and advanced studies relevant to abrasive technology and precision manufacturing. This work will represent an invaluable reference source for professionals in the precision manufacturing field who wish to keep abreast of state-of-the-art developments in abrasive technology and who are interested in understanding further the fundamentals of this discipline.
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.
Abrasive technology concerns manufacturing processes that involve the use of abrasives in various forms. It has a long history; originating right from the first discovery of minerals. With increasingly stringent requirements for the production of high-precision and high surface-quality components, in applications such as silicon wafers for the semiconductor industry and optical lenses for the precision instrument industry, abrasive technology is becoming an increasingly important factor in precision manufacturing. An understanding of the mechanisms of abrasive technology ensures the soundness and integrity of current component manufacture, as well as leading to the development of new and effective techniques.
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.
