Abstract
Hybrid bond (metal-ceramic) diamond tools are proposed for grinding zirconium oxide used in medical implants. Compared to conventional grinding tools, material removal rates and tool life time are drastically increased without deterioration in mechanical properties of the workpiece. This is achieved within a selected process window in combination with an elaborate oil cooling system, where material removal is mainly occurring within the ductile cutting mode. Self-sharpening effect of the tool can be observed and the dressability of the tool further improves the grinding performance.
