Ultrasonic Vibration Assisted Grinding of Sintered Dental Zirconia Ceramics: An Experimental Study on Surface Roughness

Article Preview

Abstract:

Dental zirconia ceramics have been widely used in dental restorations due to their superior aesthetical and mechanical properties. Ultrasonic vibration assisted grinding (UVAG), as a novel effective machining process for hard and brittle materials, is introduced into directly machining sintered dental zirconia ceramics. This study is dedicated to investigating the influence of input variables (spindle speed, feedrate and cutting depth) on surface roughness during UVAG of sintered dental zirconia ceramics. The experiment is conducted through single-factor method, and the experimental results are statistically analyzed by One-Way ANOVA. Besides, the influence tendency of input variables on surface roughness is also obtained. The results indicate that the influence of spindle speed on surface roughness is highly significant. The value of surface roughness rises with the increase of spindle speed, feedrate, and cutting depth. Therefore, a better surface quality will be achieved with the combination of lower spindle speed, cutting depth and feedrate.
