Prior to any practical application, brittle material components may need to be machined to a
high degree of precision in order to avoid functional breakdown as well as to maintain …

The purpose of this article is to review current understanding of lithia-based glass–ceramics
and to identify future research needs for this class of dental materials in relation to novel …

Silicon carbide (SiC) is a promising semiconductor material for high-performance power
electronics devices, but difficult to machine. The development of cost-effective machining …

Brittle materials are widely used for producing important components in the industry of
optics, optoelectronics, and semiconductors. Ultraprecision machining of brittle materials …

For many years, the machining community has dedicated significant efforts to investigate the
microscopic scale level phenomena during the material removal process. On one hand …

Determining the brittle-to-ductile transition (BDT) threshold is crucial for developing efficient
machining processes for brittle materials. In this study, nanoscratch tests were performed on …

A brittle material fails under fracture due to the initiation and propagation of a crack. A high
performance device will suffer catastrophic failure under brittle fracture. Nevertheless, the …

Water-based suspensions with nanoparticles as additives have been developed to replace
oil-based lubricants for green manufacturing. Optimisation of nanosuspension formulation …

The microcracks and residual stress are commonly regarded as non-negligible obstacles
while realizing non-damage surfaces in the grinding of brittle materials. In this paper, with …

Most oxide ceramics are known to be brittle macroscopically at room temperature with little
or no dislocation‐based plasticity prior to crack propagation. Here, we demonstrate the size …
