Lapping is a [machining]() process in which two surfaces are rubbed together with an [abrasive]() between them, by hand movement or using a machine.
This can take two forms. The first type of lapping (traditionally called [grinding]()), involves rubbing a brittle material such as [glass]() against a surface such as [iron]() or glass itself (also known as the “lap” or grinding tool) with an abrasive such as [aluminum oxide](), [jeweller’s rouge](), [optician’s rouge]((IV)_oxide), [emery]((mineral)), [silicon carbide](), [diamond](), etc., between them. This produces microscopic [conchoidal fractures]() as the abrasive rolls about between the two surfaces and removes material from both.
The other form of lapping involves a softer material such as [pitch]((resin)) or a [ceramic]() for the lap, which is “charged” with the abrasive. The lap is then used to cut a harder material—the workpiece. The abrasive embeds within the softer material, which holds it and permits it to score across and cut the harder material. Taken to a finer limit, this will produce a polished surface such as with a polishing cloth on an automobile, or a polishing cloth or polishing pitch upon glass or steel.
