Why is it important?
This is just a fundamental overview for practical surface finishing processes. To understand environmental friendly surface finishing processes and its current regulation, this is a needed information for readers.
Perspectives
This is a good simple description for readers at the fundamental stage. We postulated students as reader mainly, so the description is restricted to very fundamental stage, but the reason would lead to the simple and good description also for newbies to this discipline.
