ABSTRACT
Surface finishing is an integral step in the fabrication of all components that require high precision and close tolerances for performing their tasks as an individual component or as a part of an assembly. These components have wide varieties in terms of size, shape, material properties, etc. Furthermore, new materials having superior properties are being developed continuously to meet the requirements of different fields, such as medical, aerospace, optics, automobile, electronics, etc. As a result, continuous up-gradation or
