Appropriate design/manufacturing conditions, to give outstanding material properties to the $Si_3$$N_4$-BN and AIN-BN based composite materials, will be investigated using the experimental design methods. Ultra-precision machinability of the developed ceramics will be systematically studied in the viewpoint of microstructure and material properties. Also, finite element methods will be applied to define basic principles to significantly improve machinability and various properties. Basic experiments will be performed to develop optimum ultra-precision machining technologies for the developed ceramics. For ultra-precision lapping machining, need to develop a ultra-precision lapping system, suitable metal bonded diamond wheel, and appropriate condition of ultra-precision lapping machining.

Application of ceramics has grown considerably due to significant improvement in their mechanical properties such as light weight, chemical stability and superior wear resistance. Despite these character, the use of ceramics has not increased because of poor machinability. The method of using of super-abrasives metal bond wheel was proposed. But it is difficult that super-abrasives metal bond wheel can be dressed. Recently, the technology of in-process electrolytic dressing is developed to solve this problem. If this method is applied, loading and glazing are disappeared apparently. The aim of this study is to determine the machining characteristics in terms of lapping wheel speed, machining time, pressurized weight to the workpiece and peak current using in-process electrolytic dressing applied to the CIB-diamond lapping wheel to achieve ultra-precision lapping machining technique.

In-process Electrolytic Dressing is a lapping method using electrolysis. This technology provides dressing to CIB-Diamond Lapping wheels during the lapping process for continuous protrude abrasive from super-abrasive wheels. so loading and glazing are disappeared apparently. Ultra-precision lapping of the machinable commies will be studied in the viewpoint of In-process Electrolytic Dressing. For ultra-precision lapping, need to develop an ultra-precision lapping system suitable metal bonded diamond wheel, and appropriate condition of u10a-precision lapping machining.

AE(acoustic emission) sensor has been used for a state monitoring and observation during a ultra-precision machining because AE signal, which has high frequency range, is sensitive enough. In case of ceramic fabrication, a monitoring of machining state is important because of its hard and brittle nature. A machining characteristic of ceramic is susceptibly different in accordance with variable machining conditions. In this study, Yttria($Y_2O_3$) ceramic was fabricated using the ultra-precision lapping process with in-process electrolytic dressing(IED) method. And the surface machining characteristic and AE sensor signal were compared and analyzed.

Application of ceramic has increased due to excellent mechanical properties, and machining of ceramic has demanded gradually a precision surface machining. For decreasing the surface roughness, the control of IED lapping parameters is very important. This paper deal with the analysis of the process parameters such as applied forces, percentage of h-BN and IED lapping time, developed based on Taguchi method. Also, SEM was used for monitoring of a machinable ceramic surface.

Recently, application of ceramics has increased gradually due to excellent mechanical properties. Si3n4-BN ceramic which is one of ceramics is very hard and has superior resistance against volatile temperature and wear. However, extremely high hardness of the $Si_3N_4-BN$ ceramic makes conventional machining very difficult. Therefore, the use of machinable ceramic has been in a poor because of difficult industrial processes in spite of many advantages. And so new technology being called IED(In-process electrolytic dressing) was introduced to solve this problem. The aim of this study is to determine the machining characteristics in terms of pressurized weight to the workpiece and the influence with h-BN content using IED lapping system. Also, Acoustic Emission (AE) is used for the monitoring of surface characteristics.

During fabrication process for the large space optical surfaces, the traditional bound abrasive grinding with bronze bond cupped diamond wheel tools leaves the machine marks and the subsurface damage to be removed by subsequent loose abrasive lapping. We explored a new grinding technique for efficient quantitative control of precision CNC grinding for space optics materials such as Zerodur. The facility used is a NANOFORM-600 diamond turning machine with a custom grinding module and a range of resin bond diamond tools. The machining parameters such as grit number, tool rotation speed, work-piece rotation speed, depth of cut and feed rate were altered while grinding the work-piece surfaces of 20-100 mm in diameter. The input grinding variables and the resulting surface quality data were used to build grinding prediction models using empirical and multi-variable regression analysis methods. The effectiveness of the grinding prediction model was then examined by running a series of precision CNC grinding operation with a set of controlled input variables and predicted output surface quality indicators. The experiment details, the results and implications are presented.

Application of ceramics, carbide, ferrite has grown considerably due to their mechanical properties such as high degree hardness, chemical stability, super wear resistance. Despite these characters, the use of advanced material has not increased because of poor machinability. The application of metal bonded wheel was proposed. But it is difficult that metal bond wheel can be dressed. Recently, to solve this problem, the technology of in-process electrolytic dressing is developed. This method need wheel for electrolytic dressing, power supply and electrolyte. The aim of this study is development of CIB-D wheel for electrolytic and its evaluation of electrolytic characteristics, and achieve ultra-precision lapping of carbide, optic glass.
