This work is the result of a careful selection made from more than 300 extensively peer-reviewed papers treating recent advances in the field of abrasive technology.

Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 16th Conference of Abrasive Technology in China, 7-10 August, 2011, Urumqi China

Principles of Modern Grinding Technology, Second Edition, provides insights into modern grinding technology based on the author's 40 years of research and experience in the field. It provides a concise treatment of the principles involved and shows how grinding precision and quality of results can be improved and costs reduced. Every aspect of the grinding process--techniques, machines and machine design, process control, and productivity optimization aspects--come under the searchlight. The new edition is an extensive revision and expansion of the first edition covering all the latest developments, including center-less grinding and ultra-precision grinding. Analyses of factors that influence grinding behavior are provided and applications are presented assisted by numerical examples for illustration. The new edition of this well-proven reference is an indispensible source for technicians, engineers, researchers, teachers, and students who are involved with grinding processes. - Well-proven source revised and expanded by undisputed authority in the field of grinding processes - Coverage of the latest developments, such as ultra-precision grinding machine developments and trends in high-speed grinding - Numerically worked examples give scale to essential process parameters - The book as a whole and in particular the treatment of center-less grinding is considered to be unchallenged by other books

This volume aims to promote the latest advances in abrasive technology. Emphasis is placed on both the development of practical methods and the understanding of the mechanisms of machining ceramics, semiconductors, steel alloys, and other advanced materials. About 50 technical papers are included in the volume, describing the recent advances in the mechanics of abrasive machining, mechanisms of grinding, difficult-to-machine materials, grinding wheel technology, machinery and measurement, polishing, lapping, and nano-machining. Theoretically, the book discusses the material removal and deformation mechanisms; from the practical point of view, it provides useful data for direct industrial applications.

Selected Papers from the 13th Conference of Abrasive Technology in China, August 20-22, 2005, Shenyang, China

Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 16th International Symposium on Advances in Abrasive Technology (ISAAT 2013), in conjunction with the 17th Chinese Conference of Abrasive Technology (CCAT 2013), September 23-26, 2013, Hangzhou, China

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).This volume consists of a selection of papers, made from among more than 300 submitted by universities and industrial laboratories. All of the papers were subjected to peer-review by at least two expert referees. Selection for this volume depended upon the quality of the paper and its relevance to the thematic topic. This work presents the reader with the most recent advances in the field of abrasive technology: including the mechanics and control of abrasive processes, modeling, simulation and optimization of abrasive processes, green and clean production in abrasive processes, measurement and surface-quality assessment, cooling and coolants, polishing, wheel-truing and dressing, novel abrasive techniques, and novel machining techniques.It will therefore be valuable to production and research engineers, research students and academics working in the field. For production and research engineers, research students, and academics, this volume draws together selected papers from the 15th Conference of Abrasive Technology in Zhengzhou, China, held in August 2009, on recent advances in the field of abrasive technology. Zhao (Henan Polytechnic U., China) compiles 118 papers on topics including the mechanics and control of abrasive processes, modeling, simulation and optimization, green and clean production, measurement and surface-quality assessment, cooling and coolants, polishing, finishing, wheel-truing and dressing, the grinding of different materials such as granite, nanocomposite ceramics, and steel, and new abrasive and machining techniques. Paper authors work in engineering mostly in China.
