Containing 129 papers from international researchers and engineers, this volume surveys recent developments in abrasive technologies, which are used in the production of high precision and high surface quality components in applications such as silicon wafers and optical lenses. A wide range of grinding grinding, process by which surface material is removed from an object, usually metal, by the abrasive action of a rotating wheel or a moving belt that contains abrasive grains. , polishing, lapping, honing Honing could refer to

, and finishing technologies are described. Other topics relevant to precision manufacturing--such as the nano-processing of brittle (jargon) brittle - Said of software that is functional but easily broken by changes in operating environment or configuration, or by any minor tweak to the software itself. Also, any system that responds inappropriately and disastrously to abnormal but expected external stimuli; e.  materials--are also discussed.
