Cover Story: The production of small lots of customized ceramic components of low dimensional tolerances and high geometrical complexity and strength presents a major challenge in ceramics manufacturing. Nanocomposite zirconia tungsten carbide composites with a ytterbia samaria co-stabilized zirconia matrix, which provides high strength and toughness, and a tungsten carbide dispersion, which provides high electrical conductivity, were designed for electric discharge machining. This practically force-free nonconventional machining technology enables the production of precision components that meet the highest requirements. View this paper.
