Surface Finishing Technology and Surface Engineering

Enhancing the surface finish and integrity of engineered components is increasingly important, particularly for the workparts used in electronic and optical devices and systems. Significant progress has been made in recent years to develop new and advanced surface finishing technologies as well as to fundamentally understand the surface finishing technologies in order to adequately control and optimise the surface finishing processes in practice.
This book is a collection of selected papers from the submissions to the International Conference on Surface Finishing Technology & Surface Engineering (ICSFT2008), one of the academic conferences originated by the Chinese Society for Precision Surface
Finishing & Deburring Technology, held inTaiyuan, China, from 20 to 21 September, 2008. All the papers included in this book have gone through a peer-review process for their originality and quality.
The aim of the Symposium is to offer an opportunity to bring together academic researchers and industrial practitioners for the interchange of information on the latest development and applications in advanced precision surface finishing and deburring technologies, and to promote friendship and interdisciplinary research collaborations. During the Symposium, an exhibition will be held to demonstrate some development of new equipment and tools for surface finishing, polishing and deburring.
