Abrasive machining is when you use a machine to apply something rough, like sandpaper, a file, sand blasting, etc., to an item to shape it or smooth its surface.

Machining process is a broad term that refers to the cutting processes, abrasive processes and the non-traditional machining processes.
General machining processes include turning, shaping, milling, drilling, sawing, abrasive machining, and broaching.
forcing abrasives over work piece at higher speed for cutting . it is unconventional machining process .
we use water for maching in WJM, and abrasives in AJM.
Lapping is a type of process in machining. In this process, an abrasive is placed between two surfaces that are rubbed together by a machine or human.
Corundum is used for many things such as for abrasive on sand paper. It is also used in machining metals, plastics, and wood.
Diamond is used as an abrasive due to its extreme hardness, which allows it to effectively grind, cut, or polish other materials. Its durability and ability to maintain sharp edges make it ideal for precision machining operations. Additionally, diamond abrasives provide high performance and a longer lifespan compared to other abrasive materials.
In ordinary machining we use harder tool to work on workpiece , this limitation is overcome by unconventional machining. unconventional machining is directly using some sort of indirect energy for machining. Example : sparks, lasers, heat , chemicals etc.. applied in EDM ,laser cutting machines...etc
Pure Corundum is extremely hard, ranking just below diamond. It ranks 9.0 on Mohs scale of hardness. It is commonly used as an abrasive, such as sandpaper and large machines used in machining plastics, woods and metal. Abrasive corundum is synthetically manufactured from bauxite. Corundum is a less commonly used term for an abrasive product known as aluminum oxide. It is also used as a loose grain abrasive in abrasive blasting applications. It's hardness and agressiveness make it an ideal abrasive for imparting a profile on the part substrate.
This process is called "abrasive machining." It involves using a rotating wire brush or sandpaper to remove material from a workpiece through abrasion.
