Grinding Behavior of Yttrium Partially Stabilized Zirconia Using Diamond Grinding Wheel

Abstract:

In recent development of dental restoration, zirconia has been used as a prosthetic material due to their enhanced properties of fracture strength and toughness compared to other ceramic materials. Zirconia based ceramic materials are used in structural application in engineering, such as in the manufacture of cutting tools, gas sensors, refractories. Grinding was used as the efficient technique to finish ceramic materials. Due to the hard and brittle nature of a ceramic material, the grounded components were left with surface and subsurface damages. In this paper, the influence of the grinding parameters on the grindability of yttrium partially stabilized zirconia was carried out using a diamond grinding wheel. The resin bonded grinding wheel was used to analyze the grinding behavior of the material. The grinding force and surface roughness were measured during the grinding process and the experiments were conducted under conventional flooded conditions. The relationship between the surface finish and grinding parameters such as depth of cut, wheel speed were analyzed.
