Abstracting/Indexing Services and Journal Lists

Abrasive technology concerns the manufacturing processes that involve the use of abrasives in a variety of forms. It has a long history originating from the discovery of minerals. With the increasing requirements for the production of high precision and high surface quality components in various applications, such as silicon wafers in the semiconductor industry and optical lenses in the precision instrument industry, abrasive technology is becoming increasingly important in precision manufacturing.

IJAT is a fully refereed journal that publishes peer-reviewed quality papers in the area of abrasive technology covering theoretical and applied research, new technologies and applications.

 Go Top  Objectives

The objectives of IJAT are to provide a prime forum and communication channel for the interchange of information among academic researchers and industrial practitioners on the science, technologies and applications associated with precision and abrasive processing engineering.

 Go Top  Readership

Academics, researchers, industrial practitioners and university students specialising in manufacturing processes, precision engineering, abrasive processes and related fields.

 Go Top  Contents

IJAT publishes original research papers, review papers, technical papers and notes, short communications, case studies, and book reviews. Special issues devoted to the development of important topics in abrasive technology will be published periodically to compile selected papers from submissions to significant international conferences and symposiums and invited papers from prominent researchers.

 Go Top  Subject Coverage

Topics covered by IJAT include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Grinding, finishing, deburring, lapping, polishing, honing etc.
  • Truing, dressing and ELID for grinding
  • Abrasive jet (AWJ, AAJ etc.) machining and other processes
  • Equipment and technology for abrasive jet machining/processing
  • Abrasive flow machining
  • Loose and suspended abrasive particle machining/polishing
  • Hybrid super-finishing processes: electro-abrasive processes, laser assisted abrasive processes, CMP, CMG, etc.
