This book offers a systematic and in-depth investigation of a novel ultra-precision polishing method that integrates shear thickening and magnetization enhancement to achieve high-efficiency and high-quality surface finishing. It presents a comprehensive, model-driven exploration, making it a practical and research-oriented resource for readers.

The contents of this book cover the full spectrum, from polishing media to polishing tools, predictive models and practical application, addressing key challenges in precision surface processing. These models involve material removal rate, polishing force and surface roughness, effectively bridging theoretical fundamentals with practical insights.
