Machining the Zirconium-dioxide engineering ceramics

Abstract

In place of brittle ceramics used so far have appeared up-to-date so called tough ceramicmaterials resisting better against mechanical effects [2]. Such material is the zirconium-dioxide, too.The important advantage of hard-turning is the applicability of universal tool. Various outlines can beformed by a tool given. Machining ceramics in case of using traditional machining (turning, milling,drilling) requires special technological conditions (tools, machine-tools, technological parameters, etc.)which are developing presently. We would like extending our research work in this course, too.
