Advanced Ceramics have some excellent prosperities as the material for the mechanical component. It is, however, very difficult to grind ceramics with high efficiency because of their high strength, hardness and brittleness. In this study, various machining experiments are carried out to obtain the basic knowledge of grinding High Strength Ceramics with high efficiency and precision for the purpose of application to Automobile parts. Advanced Engineering Ceramics such as Si$_{3}$N$_{4}$, SiC, ZrO$_{2}$, $Al_{2}$O$_{3}$ are ground with diamond wheels using conventional grinding machine. Results obtained in this study provide some useful informations to attain the high efficiency grinding of Advanced Ceramics.
