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.

Description: Coating technology has made great strides during recent years. The properties of surface layers determine the function and quality of entire components. Thus, it is essential to obtain information concerning the development and functionality of the topmost layers. The beneficial effect of coating technology can be observed in many manufacturing fields, where it solves problems such as wear, corrosion, erosion, electrical contact, etc. Even decoration falls under this heading.

All of chosen papers were subjected to strict peer-review.

Description: Advanced Materials and Processing are important areas of research in Engineering Science and Technology, and require a critical focus on bridging the gap between researchers and engineers. Advanced materials and processing play an increasingly important role in the global economy and in daily life. Researchers and engineers strive to develop new devices and processes, using mathematical and analytical tools to create technologies to handle the rapidly expanding range of materials and manufacturing processes. The Advances in Materials and Processing Technologies conference series creates a stimulating environment for the research collaboration of scholars at the local, national and international levels, contributes to the collective development of a knowledge-based society and economy.

Description: Polymers make up one of the three main raw material groups used in the modern world, together with metals and inorganic non-metallics. They are widely used in all fields of economic development and scientific & technological innovation, and continue to play an increasingly important role. As China’s modern manufacturing forges ahead, going from a large producing country to a powerful manufacturing state, the extent of the knowledge, the tendency to innovation and the technical skill brought to bear on advanced polymer processing increase daily. There is a trend towards rapid development involving high performance and environmental-friendliness, backed up by lots of new research performed by the scientific and engineering communities.
