Abrasive machining is one of the oldest technologies, and continues to have a far-reaching impact on a broad spectrum of industries. In particular, there is an ever-increasing demand by modern manufacturing for advanced abrasive techniques and other precision machining technologies. As well as abrasive-related technologies, electrical discharge machining (EDM), glass molding, machine tool systems, green manufacturing, laser-beam machining, tribology, advanced cutting methods, etc. are addressed here. The more than 167 presentations contributed by workers from all over the world will make this volume essential reading.

The grinding and abrasive processing of materials are machining techniques which use bonded or loose abrasives to remove material from workpieces. Due to the well-known advantages of grinding and abrasive processes, advances in abrasive and grinding technology are always of great import in enhancing both productivity and component quality. In order to highlight the recent progress made in this field, the editor invited 21 world-wide contributions with the aim of gathering together all of the achievements of leading researchers into a single publication.

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.

Description: The aim of this collection was to provide an exciting forum for the exchange of the latest research findings and developments in the fields of optical design, advanced optics manufacturing technology and optical metrology. Approximately 250 papers from over 70 institutes and high-tech organizations in 13 countries were submitted, from which 235 papers were selected for publication in this collection.

Description: This work comprises a selection chosen from among more than 300 authoritative submitted papers. All of the papers were submitted for peer-review by at least two expert referees.

Enhancement of the surface finish and integrity of engineered components is increasingly important, particularly for the working parts used in electronic and optical devices and systems. Significant progress has been made, in recent years, in developing new and advanced surface finishing technologies as well as in achieving a fundamental understanding of surface finishing technologies in order to predict, control and optimise practical surface finishing processes.
The aim of this special volume is to offer the opportunity of bringing together academic researchers and industry workers in order to exchange information on the latest developments in, and applications of, advanced precision surface finishing and deburring technologies; as well as generally promoting personal contact and interdisciplinary research collaborations.

Description: This book presents a wealth of valuable up-to-date information for active researchers and engineers, and will certainly form a solid basis for any future research, in the field of abrasive technology, which is aimed at creating new and practical machine tools, systems and processes, or at identifying new characteristics.
