Abstract
In this paper, two cutting methods for ceramic plates with elastic working are proposed. Both methods are applications which take advantage of the results of bending fractured brittle materials. In our experiments, ceramic materials such as alumina, zirconia, sialon, and others, were cut along precise cut lines by making notches on the surface of these ceramic materials before cutting. By using this procedure, we were able to produce cut surfaces that were precisely perpendicular to the surface of the plate, and in the exact position of the original notches. The significant characteristics of both methods are that the cutting was done without generating any dust, the amount of energy required was very small, and the time required for the cutting process was very short.
