Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
Abrasive technologies are applied in many areas of modern manufacturing, from nanoscale components to aerospace structures. This special issue is comprised of 122 selected, peer-reviewed technical and review articles from a September 2009 conference on abrasive technologies. Coverage encompasses design, fabrication, truing, and dressing of grinding wheels, precision grinding, abrasive-jet processing, non-conventional finishing, semiconductor processing, micro/nano-machining, rock-cutting technologies, and tribology in manufacturing. Some specific subjects explored are diamond tools for grinding complex ceramic implant surfaces, optimization of coated SiC belt grinding of alumina ceramics, an internal grinding machine for precision grinding, and surface characteristics and roughness prediction of TC4 titanium alloy in high speed grinding.
