Abstract: The correlation between machining performance and mechanical properties of Y-TZP/Al2O3 ceramics with different mechanical parameters was investigated. The grinding experiments indicated that the flexural strength had a definite influence on machining performance of samples. The higher the flexural strength was, the more difficult the sample was to be ground. XRD analysis showed that an increasing amount of the monoclinic ZrO2 would reduce the flexural strength of the samples. As a result, the grinding force that the samples underwent also decreased.
