实验磨削研究已经为结构陶瓷的最佳磨削条件提供了方法。这里的最佳指的是最大研磨强度和最小研磨时间。研究了平面磨削中砂轮粒度、砂轮切削深度、工作速度和砂轮转速等机械参数。研究的陶瓷材料包括热压氮化硅、反应烧结氮化硅、氧化铝和碳化硅。结果表明，控制研磨陶瓷强度的主要因素是研磨方向和切割深度。

Experimental grinding research has lead to methodology to achieve optimum grinding conditions for structural ceramics. Optimum here refers to maximum ground strength and minimum grinding time. Wheel grit size and machine parameters of wheel depth of cut, workspeed, and wheelspeed in surface grinding were investigated. Ceramic materials which were investigated are hot pressed silicon nitride, reaction bonded silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, and silicon carbide. Results indicate that the primary factors which control the strength of ground ceramics are grind direction and the grit depth of cut.
