Abrasion; abrasive machinings

High-hardness abrasive grain machining (grinding, honing, lapping, polishing, shot-peening or sandblasting, abrasive waterjet machining, ultrasonic machining; the last two are non-traditional machining processes).

Usinages physicochimiques; physico-chemical machinings
