Machining Non Porous Alumina Ceramic

Alumina has excellent corrosion resistance.

Machining non porous alumina ceramic.

Also fine diamond machining is used at ceramco to machine non ceramics including quartz. We are always happy to use our many years of advanced ceramics experience to provide advice on materials design and application. It is also plasma resistant. It resists attack by most gases including acid gases.

We inventory a large supply of alumina material in powder form and solid forms. Because it has been a popular ceramic material we have extensive experience in machining it. Bisque is semi fired material that machines easily with regular cutting tools and then is fired to full hardness. Shrinkage occurs during the final firing and this must be taken in to account but otherwise the material is pure ceramic.

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. The resistance to machining ceramics has a lot to do with a reluctance to subject machine tools to such an abrasive material. This is the most cost effective solution. Machining to micron accuracy is.

Alumina has a good machinability compared to other engineering ceramics. Stock sizes for alumina 96 substrates range from 010 thick to 100 and ships within 1 3 business days. 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.
