Machining Non Porous Alumina Ceramic

Bisque is semi fired material that machines easily with regular cutting tools and then is fired to full hardness.

Machining non porous alumina ceramic.

Also fine diamond machining is used at ceramco to machine non ceramics including quartz. Shrinkage occurs during the final firing and this must be taken in to account but otherwise the material is pure ceramic. Alumina has a good machinability compared to other engineering ceramics. One way to make ceramic alumina zirconia parts is to machine them out of bisque.

The resistance to machining ceramics has a lot to do with a reluctance to subject machine tools to such an abrasive material. No machining all depending upon the requirements of the oem ceramic part the geometry and final tolerances can oftentimes be achieved during the near net shaping process. Buy custom alumina components. This is the most cost effective solution.

Manufacturers alumina ceramic materials in purities ranging from 96 99 99 in various sizes and shapes including substrates. Some ceramics like boron nitride must be dry machined because they are porous ceramics and often used in applications where machining oils would be detrimental to the end use applications. We inventory a large supply of alumina material in powder form and solid forms. It is also plasma resistant.

We are always happy to use our many years of advanced ceramics experience to provide advice on materials design and application. It resists attack by most gases including acid gases. Alumina has excellent corrosion resistance. Machining to micron accuracy is.
