Abstract
Fundamental considerations on the interactions between the abrasive and the work material as well as the micromechanisms of material removal and surface generation process in finishing of advanced ceramics and glasses are addressed. In developing plausible mechanisms, an attempt is made to delineate the failure mechanisms operable in polycrystalline ceramics and glasses versus metals. This is necessary because of the significant differences in the nature of bonding, restrictions on the extent of plastic deformation (including the number of independent slip systems required), microstructure, tribochemistry, and, flaws generated during processing of these materials and their consequent effect on the failure mechanisms associated.
