The latest developments in machining of advance ceramics written by authors who have spent their carerrs studying ceramic machining and ceramic stock removal mechanisms. Dr. Steve Malkin summarizes his work in chapter 3 on the mechanisms of grinding ceramic, a topic covered in his many years of research. Chapter 4, strength of ceramics, reflects the work of Dr. John Mayer, University of Texas who spent decades studying this aspect of ceramics. The chapters on ELID grinding are the work of Dr. Ohmori, who first introduced the methods, and his students who are on the forefront of this promising new technology. Another example of new technologies is application of centerless grinding with diamond coated abrasive belts where stock removal is a primary consideration - work understudy at the University of Toledo.
