Grinding and Polishing of Zirconia Ceramics

The grinding and polishing of zirconia ceramics is a kind of ultra-finishing method which uses free abrasives to remove the machined surface materials in order to achieve the machining effect.

The grinding and polishing of zirconia ceramics is a kind of ultra-finishing method which uses free abrasives to remove the machined surface materials in order to achieve the machining effect.

Grinding and polishing have an irreplaceable position in the ultra-finishing and finishing of advanced ceramic materials, especially in the precision machining of ceramic balls used for ceramic bearings. the precision control of these two processes also reflects the manufacturer’s processing and custom ability.

Optical glass, sapphire and other optical materials, silicon wafer, GaAs substrate, and other semiconductor materials, zirconia ceramics, alumina ceramics, and other ceramic materials are mostly ground and polished.

From the point of view of material removal mechanism, grinding is a processing method between brittle failure and elastic removal of zirconia ceramics, while polishing is basically carried out within the range of elastic removal of materials.

Grinding and polishing are generally only used in the final process of ultra-finishing of zirconia ceramics because of the small amount of removal of zirconia ceramic materials and low processing efficiency.

The material removal rate of grinding and polishing zirconia ceramics is closely related to the toughness of the added zirconia ceramics. the higher the toughness of zirconia ceramics is, the lower the processing efficiency of zirconia ceramics is.
