To manufacture alumina products, sintering and grinding process are needed. In Al2O3 grinding, macro/micro surface fracture and cracks are easily occurred on the ground surface because of its high brittleness. In view point of fatigue fracture, surface profile produced by grinding is considered as notches. Therefore, it was reasonable that magnitudes and shapes of surface profiles effects on fatigue strength and life. Particularly, surface finish of Al2O3 which have high hardness and brittleness have an effect on fatigue strength. In this paper, some experiments are carried out to examine influence of grinding conditions to magnitude and shape of surface profile as well as the relationships of Ra, Rmax, Rmax/Ra, and Ku. Through the experimental results, It is found that Ra and Rmax was affected by grinding conditions, but Rmax/Ra and Ku was not. There are linear relations between Ra and Rmax, and between Rmax/Ra and Ku.

This paper is concerned with the surface roughness and the bending strength of ground workpiece in ZrO2 ceramic grinding. Surface roughness was measured with surface tracer and bending strength value was obtained by three-point bending test on machining center using tool dynamometer. Grinding experiments were carried out to examine the effects of grinding conditions including diamond mesh size, table speed, and depth of cut on ground surface roughness. The correlation between surface roughness and bending strength was also inspected. The experimental results indicate that the rougher surface is produced as the mesh size of diamond wheel is reduced and table speed is increased, but surface roughness is not affected by depth of cut. The values of bending strength decrease as the values of Ra, Rmax and Ku increase.

We have investigated the unexpected phenomena on the surface of molded GFRP composites. The major cause of the unevenness, as a result of which the surface becomes rough, is a shrinking of the matrix in the process of holding pressure and cooling temperature. The higher holding pressure load in a molding process and the lower demolding temperature in an annealing experiment, the better GFRP composites moldings improved its appearance. In addition, by taking the holding pressure and demolding temperature into consideration, we evaluate the process that causes the surface unevenness and the variation in the fiber projection height.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the fluoride release and the change of surface roughness of fluoride releasing restorative materials after toothbrush-dentifrice abrasion. Seven commercially available fluoride releasing restorative materials (Fuji II LC Improved: FL, Compoglass F: CG, Dyract AP: DR, F2000: FT, Ariston: AT, Tetric: TR, and Gradia: GD) were selected as experimental materials. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. The AT, FL, and CF groups produce an initially large burst of fluoride release and comparatively low but continuous release of fluoride. But other groups produce no initial burst of fluoride and levels of release remain relatively constant. 2. The rate of fluoride release remains steady state after 40 days. The results of Tukey's test (P<.05), the fluoride release showed the order of decreasing rank as follows: AT > FL > compomers > TC and GD. 3. The surface roughness indicated that the highest value was observed in the FT group and the lowest value was observed in the CF group. The surface roughness of Tukey's test showed the significant differences between groups of FT, AT and FL and groups of CF, DR, GD and TC (P<0.05).
