The use of a rotating multi-point cutting tool to machine flat surfaces, slots, or internal recesses into a workpiece. Milling includes a wide range of versatile metal cutting ...

Lapping

Materials science; Metallurgy

An abrasive process that removes the last bit of unwanted material. A lapping process sometimes uses an abrasive paste that is rubbed across the part to gradually smooth it.

Sawing

Materials science; Metallurgy

A basic metal cutting process that uses a blade with a series of teeth on its edge to cut a narrow opening in a workpiece. Sawing may be used to produce slots or grooves or to ...

Grinding

Materials science; Metallurgy

The use of an abrasive to wear away at the surface of a workpiece and change its shape. Grinding operations commonly use abrasive grains bonded into a wheel shape.

Honing

Materials science; Metallurgy

A precision abrasion process in which a relatively small amount of material is removed from a surface by means of abrasive stones. The goal is to obtain a desired finish or ...

Screw Dislocations

Materials science; Metallurgy

Dislocations in which the Burgers vector is perpendicular to the dislocation line. Dislocations in real crystals rarely have a pure edge character. Their Burgers vectors lie at ...
