Abstract
High quality surfaces in terms of low roughness and high form accuracy are achieved by polishing as the essential finishing step. The machining is usually limited to planar or spherical geometries. Finishing of complex geometries require high efforts concerning machine tool and process development. The objective of this paper is to present first results to overcome these limitations indicated by processing advanced ceramics. In order to shorten the process development, a technology transfer of known parameters and conditions from 2-dimensional to zonal polishing is used. This first approach can be used for corrective polishing of zonal form deviations of ceramic samples in the future.
