在许多工业陶瓷应用中，陶瓷加工是一种精加工操作。本文旨在评估钻芯、切片和研磨对各种陶瓷材料的影响。针对特定陶瓷，描述了坯料去除率、形状生成、刀具选择和公差限制。成本是一个重要的问题，它取决于陶瓷材料的特性，因为刀具磨损和较慢的加工速度，高硬度材料需要更高的成本。

THE MACHINING OF CERAMICS IS PERFORMED AS A FINISHING OPERATION IN MANY INDUSTRIAL CERAMIC APPLICATIONS. IT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER TO EVALUATE THE EFFECTS OF CORE DRILLING, SLICING, AND GRINDING ON VARIOUS CERAMIC MATERIALS. STOCK REMOVAL RATES, SHAPE GENERATION, TOOL SELECTION, AND TOLERANCE LIMITATIONS ARE DESCRIBED FOR PARTICULAR CERAMICS. COST IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE AND IS SHOWN TO BE DEPENDENT ON CERAMIC MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH HIGH HARDNESS MATERIALS REQUIRING MUCH HIGHER COSTS BECAUSE OF TOOL WEAR AND SLOWER MACHINING RATES.
