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.
 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. Readership
Academics, researchers, industrial practitioners and university students specialising in manufacturing processes, precision engineering, abrasive processes and related fields. 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. 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.
- In-process measurement and monitoring for precision/ultra-precision machining
- Abrasives and tools for abrasive processes
- Machine tools/equipment for precision/ultra-precision and abrasive machining
- Micro-machining

Specific Notes for Authors
Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently
under consideration for publication elsewhere. (N.B. Conference papers may
only be submitted if the paper was not originally copyrighted and if it has
been completely re-written).
All papers are refereed through a double blind process. A guide for authors,
sample copies and other relevant information for submitting papers are
available on the Submission of
Papers web-page.
To submit a paper, please go to Submissions of Papers
AUTHORS MUST SUBMIT THEIR PAPERS THROUGH THE ON LINE SUBMISSION SYSTEM, OTHERWISE THEIR PAPERS WOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR PUBLICATION All papers must be submitted online. If you experience any problems submitting your paper online, please contact submissions@inderscience.com,
describing the exact problem you experience. Please include in your email the title of the Journal.
