Abstract

Experimental investigations were carried out to find the characteristics of grinding of ceramics. Grinding mechanisms of ceramics were inspected through the microscopic examination. It has been found that the specific grinding energy of ceramics is relatively low as compared to that of steels. The specific grinding energy affects the surface roughness and the residual stress of ground surface. the experimental results indicate that the rougher surface finish and higher compressive residual stress are obtained at lower specific grinding energy. The surface roughness and the residual stress of the ground surface have significant effects on the strength of ground piece of ceramics.
