Ceramic materials are classified by oxide, nitride and carbide material and have high brittleness, strength and hardness. Ceramic materials are strong in compression but weak in shearing and tension. This review paper has focused on technology trends and mechanism analysis of ceramics removal machining. The ceramic materials have superior mechanical, physical and chemical properties, but it is very hard to machining and the use of ceramics has been limited because of high strength and brittleness. In this paper, technology trends of ceramic removal-machining was introduced for types of machining technology, abrasive machining, cutting process, laser machining and so on.

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.

In this study, machining characteristics of AIN-hBN composites were evaluated in end-milling process. As a first step, AIN-hBN composite specimens with various hBN contents were prepared using hot press method. Material properties of the composites, such as relative density, Young's modulus and fracture toughness, were measured and compared. Then, a series of end-milling experinients were performed under various cutting conditions by changing cutting speed, depth-of-cut and feed rate. Cutting force variations were measured using a tool dynamometer during the cutting experiments. Machined surfaces of the specimens were observed using SEM and a surface pro filer to investigate the surface integrity changes. The cutting force decreased with an increases of hBN content. The cutting process was almost impossible for monolithic AIN, owing to severe chipping. In contrast, at high content of hBN, surface damage and chipping decreased, and better surface roughness can be obtained.

Glasses in K2O-Na2O-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2-F system were crystallized to prepare machinable glass-ceramics. The optimum nucleating and crystal growing temperatures were approximately $700^{\circ}C$ and 1060~112$0^{\circ}C$, respectively for the samples investigated. Crystalline phases of sellaite, norbergite, and fluorphlogopite appeared progressively as heat-treatment temperature was increased. Surface roughness of the crystallized specimens after the machining was similar to that of metal aluminum (2.18 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$). Thermal expansion coefficient, Vickers hardness and dielectric constants of the fluorphlogopite glass-ceramics prepared were 7.37~10.21 ($\times$10-6/$^{\circ}C$), 302~456kgf/$\textrm{mm}^2$ and 5.97~16 respectively.

$Si_{3}N_{4}$-BN계 기계 가공서 세라믹스를 $1800^{\circ}C$에서 2시간동안 25MPa의 압력하에서 열간 가압소결하여 제조하였다. $Si_{3}N_{4}$ 매트릭스에 판상의 h-BN 첨가량을 5-30 vol%까지 증가함에 따라 굽힘강도는 $Si_{3}N_{4}$ 단미의 1000 MPa에서 720~400 MPa로 감소하였고, 파괴인성도 $Si_{3}N_{4}$ 단미의 7.6MPaㆍ$m^{1/2}$에서 6.5~4.1 MPaㆍ$m^{1/2}$로 감소하였다. $\beta$-$Si_{3}N_{4}$의 결정립 크기와 형상비는 h-BN 첨가에 의해 약간 감소하였다. $Si_{3}N_{4}$ 단미는 절삭시 취성 파괴를 나타내어 절삭이 불가능하였으나, $Si_{3}N_{4}$-BN계 기계 가공서 세라믹스는 파괴가 발생하지 않으면서 절삭이 가능하여, 우수한 기계 가공성을 나타내었다. h-BN 함량이 증가할수록 절삭과 마이크로 드릴링시의 절삭력은 감소하였다.

Transparent ceramics are used in new technology because of their excellent mechanical properties over glasses. Transparent ceramics are nowadays widely used in armor, laser windows, and in high temperature applications. Silicon nitride ceramics have excellent mechanical properties and if transparent silicon nitride is fabricated, it can be widely used. h-BN has a lubricating property and is ductile. Therefore, adding h-BN to silicon nitride ceramics gives a lubricating property and is also machinable. Translucent silicon nitride was fabricated by hot-press sintering (HPS) and 57% transmittance was observed in the near infrared region. A higher wt. % of h-BN in silicon nitride ceramics does not favor transparency. The optical, mechanical, and tribological properties of BN dispersed polycrystalline $Si_3N_4$ ceramics were affected by the density, ${\alpha}:{\beta}$-phase ratio, and content of h-BN in sintered ceramics. The hot pressed samples were prepared from the mixture of $\alpha-Si_3N_4$, AlN, MgO, and h-BN at $1850^{\circ}C$. The composite contained from 0.25 to 2 wt. % BN powder with sintering aids (9% AlN + 3% MgO). A maximum transmittance of 57% was achieved for the 0.25 wt. % BN doped $Si_3N_4$ ceramics. Fracture toughness increased and wear volume and the friction coefficient decreased with an increase in BN content. The properties such as transmittance, density, hardness, and flexural strength decreased with an increase in content of h-BN in silicon nitride ceramics.

AlN-BN ceramics with BN contents in the range of 10 to 40 wt% were prepared by hot pressing using no additive, or 3 wt%, Y2O3 or CaO, which are common densification aids for AlN. And their machinability, bend strength, and microstructures were investigated. Both the main and radial cutting forces decreased with increasing BN content in all three kinds of samples. For the BN contents of 30 wt% or above, the cutting forces were lower than that of a mild steel tested at a same condition. Especially in the case of main forces, the values were less than a quarter of that of a mild steel, indicating excellent machinability. Bend strength (when the tensile surfaces of specimens were perpendicular to the hot pressing direction) also decreased with BN content mainly due to the much lower Young's modulus of BN compared to AlN. With the composition of 30 wt% BN at which the AlN-BN ceramics started to show better machinability than a mild steel, the bend strength was 150 to 160 MPa, which is greater than that of machinable glass-ceramics of a mica system. With tensile surfaces parallel to the hot pressing direction, however, the bend strength obtained for the samples processed with the sintering acids showed low values (about 40 MPa), since most BN particles had such orientation that their cleavage planes (i.e., basal planes) were perpendicular to the pressing direction.

Machinble Ceramics have some excellent properties as the material for the mechanical components. It is, however, very difficult to grind ceramics with high efficiency because of their high strength, hardness and brittleness. Lapping used diamond slurry and lapping by in-process electrolytic dressing is developed to solve this problem. On this paper, a comparative study of processing ability of lapping used diamond slurry and lapping by in-process electrolytic dressing.

The crystallization behaviour and the machinability of mica glass-ceramics with the content of F1 were studied. The material was made from the $K_2O-MgO-Al_2O_3-B_2O_3-SiO_2-F$ glasses by the heattreatment at 80$0^{\circ}C$-110$0^{\circ}C$ where the content of F-1 was changed in the range from 1, 3wt% to 6.1wt%. X-ray diffraction phase analysis and optical observation were adopted to study the crystallization behaviour. The machinability was measured by a manual sawing test and MOR. The crystal phases of these glass-ceramics identified by XRD were chondrodite fluoborite and norbergite at low temperature but fluorophlogopite at high temperature. The crystallization of glasses containing 1.3wt% -2.5wt% F-1 were predominately controlled by surface crystallization while the crystallization of glasses containing 3.8 wt% -6.1wt% F-1 were controlled by volume crystallization. Among the test the best machinability and strength value were obtained from those specimens contained fluoride 4.2wt% -4.4wt% and when the heattreatment was performed at 95$0^{\circ}C$-110$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours.

AIN-BN계 머시너블 세라믹의 미세조직, 기계적 성질 및 기계 가공성에 미치는 h-BN 첨가의 영향을 조사하였다. 소결체의 상대밀도는 h-BN 첨가량의 증가와 더불어 감소하였다. 또한, 4점 굽힘 강도도 AIN 단미의 238 MPa에서 30 vo1% BN 첨가에 의해 182 MPa까지 감소하였다. 낮은 탄성계수와 AIN 매트릭스와 h-BN 입자와의 열팽창계수의 차이에 의해 발생한 잔류인장응력에 의해 AIN-BN 복합재료의 강도가 감소되었다고 생각된다. 판상형태의 h-BN 입자에 의해 균열편향과 pull-out은 증가하였으나, 파괴인성은 BN 첨가량과 더불어 감소하였다. AIN 분말표면에 존재하는 알루미나와 소결조제인 $Y_2$O$_3$와의 반응에 의해 2차상인 YAG상과 ${\gamma}$-Al$_2$O$_3$상이 생성되었다. AIN에 10～30 vo1%의 BN을 첨가한 복합재료에 대하여 수행한 절삭시험에서 절삭력과 배분력은 h-BN 첨가량에 따라 감소하였으며, 우수한 기계 가공성을 입증하였다. 또한, 모든 시편에서 짧은 시간 내에 0.5 $\mu$m (Ra) 이하의 비교적 양호한 표면 거칠기에 도달할 수 있었다.
