Enhancement of the surface finish and integrity of engineered components is increasingly important, particularly for the working parts used in electronic and optical devices and systems. Significant progress has been made, in recent years, in developing new and advanced surface finishing technologies as well as in achieving a fundamental understanding of surface finishing technologies in order to predict, control and optimise practical surface finishing processes.The aim of this special volume is to offer the opportunity of bringing together academic researchers and industry workers in order to exchange information on the latest developments in, and applications of, advanced precision surface finishing and deburring technologies; as well as generally promoting personal contact and interdisciplinary research collaborations.The topics covered include: Modelling and simulation of super-finish surfacing processes and mechanisms; Precision and super-precision grinding and finishing techniques for advanced materials; Advanced techniques/technologies and fundamental studies for enhancing component surface properties and characteristics; Super-finish surface topography, integrity and characterization; Advanced deburring techniques and theories; Advanced abrasives and equipment for surface finishing processes.
