A STUDY ON THE HONING OF ZIRCONIA CERAMICS BY DIAMOND ABRASIVE STICKS

Abstract

The use of zirconia ceramics is increasing in the automobile industry, the electronics industry and the aerospace industry, but this material is difficult to machine. Thus, development for machinability becomes prominent and, especially in the area of honing, is an urgent problem in the development of a car engine. The dependence of the stress distribution of the contact zone on the setting angle of the honing stick is analyzed.
