Abstract

Fine ceramics have the properties of high hardness, chemical inertness, high thermal resistance and low electrical conductivity, but, because of high hardness and brittleness, they are very difficult to machine. Therefore, a superabrasive diamond wheel is used for mirror-like grinding of this material. In this study, an in-process electrolytic dressing system for carrying out mirror-like surface grinding was constructed. Using this system the grinding force for fine ceramics was reduced. This work shows that the application of electrolytic dressing is beneficial in obtaining a mirror-like surface when grinding fine ceramics.
