Description: The present volume contains selected papers from the 12th Grinding and Machining Conference, held in China (GMC 2003).
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
 This collection presents a selection of over 250 papers, submitted to the conference by many universities and industrial concerns. All of the papers were subjected to peer-review by at least two expert referees. Moreover, fifteen papers on high-speed machining were specially selected by Dr. Ning He, a full professor at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA), from papers submitted to the International Conference on High Speed Machining, which is organized by the NUAA and will be held in Nanjing from March 31st to April 2nd, 2004. These papers have been selected for the present volume because of their quality and the fact that they cover the main topics of the conference.

Description: Stone-dressing continues to expand steadily, in nearly all of those countries having an abundant supply of suitable raw material, due to the increasing demand for stone products. Because competition from emerging stone-processing countries has been putting traditional stone-supplying countries under economic pressure, various attempts are being made to improve the financial viability of stone- processing operations and thereby maintain natural stone's position as a cost-effective building material. Numerous papers related to the machining of natural stone have been published in diverse journals and conference proceedings, but an overall treatment of the subject for the general reader is difficult to find. The purpose of this book is to provide an opportunity for academic researchers and industrial experts to summarize the achievements made, and to predict new trends in this area; all in a single volume.

Description: The history of abrasive technology dates from the very dawn of mineral utilization and continues to this day with the development of precision-finishing technology.The current requirements of high precision and high quality surfaces for critical components and devices, such as silicon wafers in the semiconductor industry, lenses in the precision optics industry, and dies in the injection molding industry, make the technology of abrasives more important than ever, and essential, albeit indirectly, for the rapid development of information technology. This book therefore plays a valuable role in presenting recent advances in the field of abrasive technology.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
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.

Description: Precision machining is an essential manufacturing process to achieve high dimensional accuracy and high surface integrity of functional components for various technological applications, such as those in aeronautical, biomedical, mechanical, metrological, mechatronic, nano-technological and microscopy industries. To achieve a satisfactory operation of precision machining, however, one must have a deep understanding of the setting and control of machining conditions, mechanisms of material removal and effectiveness of the cutting tools. As a result, a quality precision machining requires a comprehensive integration of the development of machine tools, the improvement of machining methods and the wise application of materials science and engineering and mechanics of solids.
