As the grain size of nano ceramic has reached nanometer grade, it possesses high hardness, high wear resistance and high toughness. Therefore, the scalpel made by nano ceramic has the virtue of high wear resistance, good corrosion resistance, long service life, non-toxic, non-static, sharp edge and so on, but the processing of this kind of scalpel is extremely difficult. This paper prepares the nano-ceramic scalpel by using ELID grinding technology, and also studies the thickness, surface roughness, edge sharpness of scalpel. The research results show that the thickness of prepared scalpel is 0.3 mm, the surface roughness is 6-60 nm and the edge radius is 200 nm, the cutting experiment on suture shows that this scalpel can meet the requirements of international standard for medical scalpel when the cutting force is less than 0.8 N. This further proves that the ELID grinding technology is suitable for the preparation of nano-ceramic scalpel. The preparation technology and technological equipment of nano-ceramic scalpel are proposed on the basis of above achievements, and this technology possesses promising application prospect.

As ELID grinding technology is characterized by simpleness, practicality, low cost and so on, it is wildly used in ultra-precision sharpening, ultra-precision grinding, ultra-precision polishing and some other fields of difficult-to-cut material. ELID grinding technology was applied in the grinding of cutting tool in this paper, and the cutting tools with nano-grained cemented carbide, common cemented carbide, nanoY-TZP ceramics and some other materials were respectively grinded. Then, the surface quality of their anterior and posterior grinding horns and their edge radius were studied and compared with traditional grinding technology of cutting tool. The results show that the surface roughness and edge radius of nano-grained cemented carbide cutting tool are respectively Ra2nm and 0.3μm, the surface roughness and edge radius of common cemented carbide cutting tool are respectively Ra20nm and 1μm and the surface roughness and edge radius of nanoY-TZP ceramic cutting tool are respectively Ra60nm and 0.2μm after grinding by applying ELID grinding technology, which are far better than that from traditional grinding technology; this further proves that the adoption of ELID grinding technology in the grinding of cutting tool is feasible.
