Background: The austenitic stainless steel 304L is widely used as a structural material for which the finished surface has significant effect on the service performance. A study of the grinding process with regard to the quality of the ground surfaces is therefore interesting from the point of view of both industrial application and scientific research. Method: This work investigates the influe...

Hard brittle materials such as ceramics and crystals are commonly utilized in various industries, including information technology, mechanical engineering, semiconductors. These materials, known for their high brittleness hardness but low fracture toughness, pose challenges efficient high-quality machining. Current abrasive machining techniques involve rough grinding, fine polishing processes, ...
