Introduction to abrasive grinding of ceramics

One of the major restrictions in grinding of ceramics is the probability of failure of material due to the damage induced during the process. The understanding of mechanisms of material removal on grinding and the interaction with the process parameters and microstructure is fundamental to minimize these problems. The purpose of this review is to present the models of material removal in ceramics and the way they affect the mechanical properties of the product.
