Presented at The Design for Manufacturability and Manufacture of Ceramic Components Symposium, American Ceramic Society 96th Annual Meeting April 24-27, 1994, Indianapolis, IN and to appear in Ceramic Transaction: Ceramic Components. 1 ROTARY ULTRASONIC DRILLING AND MILLING OF CERAMICS

An experimental study of the rotary ultrasonic drilling of ceramics is first presented. The influence of different process parameters on the material removal rate for machining of magnesia stabilized zirconia is examined. Then a mechanistic approach to modeling the material removal rate during rotary ultrasonic drilling of ceramics is proposed and applied to predicting the material removal rate...

Graphic Design for Ceramic Tiles

The development of a computer based design system for ceramic tiles forms part of a BriteEuram project aimed at providing automated quality control for ceramic tile production. The design system is expected to provide a priori information about each tile design to the quality control inspection stations. The differences between graphic design for paper and graphic design for ceramic are discuss...

Bonding and structure of ceramic-ceramic interfaces.

Quantum molecular dynamics simulations of α-Al2O3(0001)/3C-SiC(111) interfaces reveal profound effects of thermal annealing for producing strong interfaces consisting solely of cation-anion bonds and their consequence on interfacial structures. A Si-terminated SiC surface and Al2O3 form a stronger interface (Si-interface) with a Si-O bond density of 12.2  nm(-2), whereas the C interface has an ...

Ceramic Biomaterials: an Introductory Overview

A review of classes of biomaterials and their applications is presented. Particular interest is paid to bioceramics, calcium phosphates and hydroxyapatite which are the leading biomaterials employed today. Several methods for producing hydroxyapatite are presented, including the characteristics and disadvantages of each methodology reported in specialized literature. The main trends of the mode...
