Recently, ELID (electrolytic in-process dressing) grinding technique is developed. It is possible to make a efficient precision machining of hard materials such as ceramic hard metals, and quenched steels. This paper deals with some typical applications of ELID-grinding for cylindrcal machining. The significant advantages, performance and characteristics on mirror surface grinding for external surface are described.

To investigate how to produce the crack free and chromium deposits, bath compositions, additives, electrolysis conditions and other electroplating parameters, such as cathodic current efficiency, surface hard-ness, crack density and corrosion rate of deposits were examined carefully. The crack free chrome deposits were well obtained using both wetting agents and two kind of additives. At 60 A/d$\m^2$, $60^{\circ}C$ electrolysis condition, crack free bright hard chromium deposits were well obtained to a thickness $300\mu\textrm{m}$ in Additive-I and Additive-II added solution.

In recent years the recording density of hard disks has increased significantly largely due to the decreasing flying height. As a result of decreased flying height, the reliability issue become more critical. In this work the relationship between hard disk surface damage and data loss was investigated by using an actual hard disk drive. The purpose of this research was to identify the key factor which leads to data loss. It was shown that data loss is directly related to the physical damage of the Co-magnetic layer and there was no data loss when only carbon protective coating was damaged by the diamond tip.

Hard turning has the potential to replace grinding process and to achieve significant reduction in production time and cost. The main applications for hard turning is finishing process, namely grinding process. Therefore, it must be able to satisfy high surface integrity of the workpiece. This paper discusses surface quality in terms of residual stress and damaged layer with respect to cutting parameters in an intermittent hard turning. Damaged layer experiment is carried out orthogonal array. From that is based on the orthogonal array. From the response table, cutting parameters are analyzed from the view point of the damaged layer and residual stress. From this experimental results, even though in the intermittent hard turning, surface integrity turns out be good enough for replacing grinding process.

Most manufacturing processes such as welding, cutting and molding generate residual stresses on the surface of manufactured parts. Tensile residual stress is harmful to the surface integrity, which results in reduced fatigue life and causes other structural failures when the service stresses are superimposed on the residual stresses. In the research, the residual stresses of the high hardness steel (over $H_{RC}60$) workpiece (SKD11) machined by the hard turning were measured using Hole-drilling Method. Residual stress in the surface of hard turned workpiece was mainly appeared to be compressive stress.

This paper presents study of effects of cutting parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut on the surface roughness in hard turning. Taguchi Method and linear regression model of design parameters were utilized to identify the controlling process parameters that can monitor the surface roughness in the hard turning operation. In the process optimization, experimental planning was performed using the orthogonal array and concept of the signal-to-noise ratio. Cutting parameters such as speed, feed rate, and depth of cut were selected as process parameters and the ANOVA analysis showed that feed rate and cutting speed had more effect on the roughness variation that depth of cut.

We fabricated (110) silicon hard master by using anisotropic wet etching for embossing. The etching chemical for the silicon wafer was a TMAH $25\%$ solution. The anisotropic wet etching produces a smooth sidewall surface and the surface roughness of the fabricated master is about 3 nm. After spin coating an organic-inorganic sol-gel hybrid material on a silicon substrate, we employed hot embossing technique operated at a low pressure and temperature to form patterns on the silicon substrate by using the fabricated master. We successfully fabricated the multi-mode planar optical waveguides showing low propagation loss of 0.4 dB/cm. The surface roughness of embossed patterns was uniform for more than 10 times of the embossing processes with a single hydrophobic surface treatment of the silicon hard master.

Hard chromium coating technology using hexavalent chromium bath is widely used in various industries. Because of the serious health and environmental problems of hexavalent chromium, many attempts to alternate the hexavalent chromium plating have been made over 50 years. Trivalent chromium plating is one of the challengeable technologies to alternate hexavalent chromium plating. It is relatively none-toxic. Although some papers have described hard chromium coatings produced from trivalent chromium solution, it has limited the industrialization because of chemical and electrochemical problems of trivalent chromium ions. This paper introduces a number of factors for successful trivalent chromium plating, to give a some information about trivalent chromium process.

In the present work, the optimization of machining parameters to achieve the desired technological parameters such as surface roughness, tool radial vibration and material removal rate have been carried out using response surface methodology (RSM). The hard turning of EN19 alloy steel with coated carbide (GC3015) cutting tools was studied. The main problem faced in manufacturer of hard and high precision components is the selection of optimum combination of cutting parameters for achieving required quality of surface finish with maximum production rate. This problem can be solved by development of mathematical model and execution of experiments by RSM. A face centred central composite design (FCCD), which comes under the RSM approach, with cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut) was used for statistical analysis. A second-order regression model were developed to correlate the cutting parameters with surface roughness, tool vibration and material removal rate. Consequently, numerical and graphical optimization were performed to obtain the most appropriate cutting parameters to produce the lowest surface roughness with minimal tool vibration and maximum material removal rate using desirability function approach. Finally, confirmation experiments were performed to verify the pertinence of the developed mathematical models.

Transparent aluminum oxide films were deposited on polycarbonate (PC) substrates by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) assisted reactive sputtering. the oxygen flow rate was regulated by controlling the target voltage with a proportional integrate derivative controller. The PC substrate was treated with plasma prior to the deposition in order to the enhance the adhesive strength of the $Al_2O_3$ film. The characteristics of hardness, structure, density, transmittance, deposition rate, surface roughness and residual stress were investigated to estimate the possibility for the hard coating.
