Glimpse into reports on abrasive machining (Group G) during CIRP 2024 General Assembly

To promote the international cutting-edge technical exchange in the field of abrasives, the Group G (abrasive processing) papers in the 2024 CIRP Annals – Manufacturing Technology journal have been specially selected for introduction. A total of 9 papers on this topic have been published, numbered G1 to G9 in the order of submission. The research topics of these papers include grinding models (G1/G2), grinding machinability (G3/G4), polishing tools (G5), inner surface polishing (G6), chemical mechanical polishing (G7), polishing edge effects (G8), and electrochemical mechanical polishing (G9). This paper summarizes and introduces the main innovations and conclusions of each study to facilitate learning and communication among scholars in related fields.
