Abrasive technology concerns manufacturing processes that involve use of abrasives in a variety of forms. It has a long history originating from the discovery of minerals. With the increasing requirements for high precision and high surface quality components in various applications, (e.g. silicon wafers in the semiconductor industry and optical lenses in the precision instrument industry), abrasive technology is becoming increasingly important in precision manufacturing. IJAT deals with abrasive technology, covering theoretical and applied research, new technologies and applications.

 



 Topics covered include

  • Grinding, finishing, deburring, lapping, polishing, honing etc.
  • Truing, dressing, ELID for grinding
  • Abrasive jet machining/processing
  • Abrasive flow machining
  • Loose/suspended abrasive particle machining/polishing
  • Hybrid super-finishing processes
  • In-process measurement/monitoring
  • Metrology for precision/ultra-precision machining
  • Abrasives and tools, tribology
  • Precision/ultra-precision and abrasive machining
  • Micro-machining, super-finish/nano-surfacing
  • Surface characterisation/evaluation
  • Silicon wafer and brittle materials processing
  • Ecological/environmentally-friendly coolants/cooling
  • Teaching and learning innovations

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.
