ABSTRACT

Engineering ceramics have many excellent properties such as high hardness, good wear resistance, and stable performance, so they have been widely used in various industries. Based on relevant research by domestic and foreign scholars, new methods of engineering ceramic processing technology have made great progress. Due to the significant hard and brittle characteristics of engineering ceramics, mechanical processing is the most commonly used traditional processing technology. Combining relevant literature and data in recent years, this article explains the successive development of engineering ceramics machining technologies at home and abroad such as high-speed/ultra-high-speed grinding, deep-cut creep-feed grinding, and high-speed deep grinding. In addition, two new processing technologies based on edge fragmentation effect, cutting-push processing and energy-assisted cutting processing, are also explained.
