Abstract
Abstract In this chapter the mechanical finish-machining manufacturing processes honing and superfinishing are characterized. A description of the typology of these processes in terms of different kinematics and a brief overview over the different honing and superfinishing tools is given. The structure, dimensions and conditioning of honing tools are explained. Furthermore modern honing and superfinishing machines are specified and the honing technology for ceramic materials is shown. Therefore the influence of different process parameters and tool specifications on the process performance is demonstrated through experimental results. For the demands of high specific material removal rates as well as high surface quality a multistage process with more than one honing stone specification needs to be implemented. Additionally the double face grinding process is described in this chapter because of the similar relative movement of the abrasive grains on the workpiece. Double face grinding with planetary kinematics has a high relevance for plane-parallel processing of ceramic materials, like fuel pump lids and regulating wheels.
