Grinding process is a micro-processing method. Grinding uses a grinding tools and abrasive (a free abrasive) to generate relative movement between the processed surface of the workpiece and the grinding tool, and apply pressure to remove it from the workpiece.
Micro grooves were fabricated on high strength materials including silicon nitride and aluminium oxide by using the laser assisted grinding process, i.e. laser pre-heat workpiece flowed by micro grinding.
In the combined process, the polish grinding perfectly follows the precision-ground micro and macro geometries of the gear profile and lead. Both polish grinding and vibratory superfinishing remove only the peaks on a ground surface texture, which amounts to approximately 1 micrometer.
Manual Grinding The manual method is useful when automatic equipment is not avail-able or when the depth of grinding is critical. Cross sections of micro-electronic devices, such as multiplayer packages, often must be ground to a specific depth.

In the grinding process of a cemented carbide micro-drill, when the single abrasive cutting depth h 0 is thicker than the critical cutting depth h c, the grinding surface of the workpiece is rougher and there are small scratches on the surface, as shown in Fig. 18a. This means that the material removed mode is one of brittle material removal.
