Ebook: Progress in abrasive and grinding technology : special topic volume with invited papers only

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. The authors of the 21 invited papers, of both review and research type, therefore hail from Australia, China, Germany, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan (China), UK and the USA. The abrasive processes covered by this volume include not only grinding and polishing, but also wire-sawing and abrasive water-jet machining. The topics covered address both fundamental aspects and novel techniques. It is therefore certain that this volume will be invaluable to production and research engineers, research students and academics working in this area. Read more...
