Lapping of composites of alumina and partially stabilized zirconia

The advanced ceramic products are usually fabricated from fine powders through powder processing techniques. In order to use these materials for engineering applications, machininh, either for imparting a shape change or for attaining a desired level of surface finish, is essential. Grinding followed by lapping improves the surface finish of the composites of alumina and partially stabilized zirconia. © 1994.
