THE MANUFACTURING OF DIAMOND GRINDING WHEELS FOR ENGINEERED CERAMICS REQUIRES MANY CONSIDERATIONS, SUCH AS BOND TYPE, DIAMOND TYPE, DIAMOND SIZE, AND DIAMOND CONCENTRATION. MUCH CONSIDERATION MUST BE GIVEN TO THE TYPE OF CERAMIC MATERIAL BEING GROUND AND THE CONDITIONS IT WILL BE GROUND UNDER. THIS PAPER DISCUSSES THE TYPE OF DIALOGUE THAT IS NEEDED BETWEEN THE DIAMOND WHEEL MANUFACTURER AND THE MANUFACTURER WHO WILL BE GRINDING THE MATERIAL. THIS PAPER ALSO PRESENTS CASE HISTORIES OF APPLICATIONS WHERE A SUCCESSFUL DIALOGUE RESULTED IN SUCCESSFUL CERAMIC GRINDING RESULTS.
