... will enable us to use it for processing large surfaces at a high rate. On-line degreasing of metal in the course of rolling or prior to machining illustrates this application. A generic environmentally friendly surface processing technology is emerging as the result of the presented study. Contributed...

... has also been employed to slice other brittle materials such as alumina, quartz, glass, and ceramics. The manufacturing process of wiresaw is a free abrasive machining (FAM) process. Specifically, the wiresaw cuts brittle materials through the “rolling-indenting” and “scratch-indenting” processes...
