Lapping is a manufacturing process for smoothing surfaces while maintaining tight tolerances and flatness.
Lapping uses an abrasive embedded in lubricant. In contrast to grinding, where the abrasive is firmly anchored to the backing material, this process uses moving (rolling) grit.
DIN 8589 divides lapping into two groups - Lapping with lapping paste
- Liquid lapping
