Advances in abrasive technology XII. Edited by Han Huang, Liangchi Zhang, Jun Wang, Zhengyi Jiang, Libo Zhou, Xipeng Xu and Tsunemoto Kuriyagawa Stafa-Zurich, Switzerland: Trans Tech Publications, 2009.
Abrasive technologies are central to modern manufacturing as applied to a wide variety of products covering many disciplines: from nanoscale components to large-scale equipment, and from biomedical devices to aerospace structures.
This special issue brings together the latest advances in, and applications of, abrasive technologies. It comprises 122 selected peer-reviewed technical and review articles, and covers a broad range of research topics including: design, fabrication, truing and dressing of grinding wheels, precision grinding, abrasive-jet processing, lapping, honing, polishing and non-conventional finishing, semiconductor processing, micro/nano- machining, fabrication and forming, advanced machining and rock-cutting technologies, tribology in manufacturing, process monitoring and measurement, and other novel techniques and advanced studies related to abrasive technologies.
Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 12th International Symposium on Advances in Abrasive Technology (ISAAT2009), 27-30 September 2009, Gold Coast, Australia
