Two-phase mixtures of Ce-ZrO2 and monazite-type CePO4 were fabricated. Drilling and grinding experiments were carried out to investigate the machining characteristics of Ce-ZrO2/CePO4 ceramics. The machined surfaces of ceramics and wear surfaces of drill bits were observed with scanning electron microscope. Material removals and grinding forces were measured. The transgranular fracture of CePO4 grains, intergranular fracture between ZrO2 and CePO4 grains, and ductile deformation of ceramics were observed on Ce-ZrO2/CePO4 machined surfaces. With the increase of CePO4 proportion to composites, drilling material removal rates increases and specific normal grinding forces decreases.There existed rapid wear of conventional metal cutting tool is caused by abrasive wear. The experimental results indicate that the weak interfaces and properties of Ce-ZrO2/CePO4 ceramics have influences on material removal and machinability.
