Written by an international team of experts unrivalled in their experience and standing in the field, this comprehensive reference takes a unified approach to abrasive machining that emphasizes the underlying physical principles and how this knowledge can best be applied to solving new grinding problems. Coverage is split neatly into two main sections, with the first dedicated to basic concepts such as grinding parameters, removal mechanisms, abrasive characteristics, and economic efficiency. The remainder of the book addresses applications, including grinding of ductile and brittle materials, grinding machines, and surface, cylindrical, internal, centerless, and ultrasonic-assisted grinding.

This is the first English language book to describe the most precise processes available for finishing the surfaces of mechanical as well as electronics and semiconductor components. The Handbook of Lapping and Polishing begins with an introduction focused on the fundamental concepts and the basics of lapping and polishing processes. The book builds on this foundation to discuss lapping of ductile and brittle materials, with a special chapter devoted to lapping equipment. Sections on polishing and chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) round out the discussion. Experts from the US, Germany, and Japan present the latest technologies for lapping and polishing along with case studies.
