Machining Non Porous Alumina Ceramic

This is the most cost effective solution.

Machining non porous alumina ceramic.

Precision ceramics is your alumina machining specialist for your technical ceramic prototyping manufacturing needs. Machining to micron accuracy is. Alumina has a good machinability compared to other engineering ceramics. Because it has been a popular ceramic material we have extensive experience in machining it.

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. It resists attack by most gases including acid gases. Buy custom alumina components.

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. We inventory a large supply of alumina material in powder form and solid forms. 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.

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. The resistance to machining ceramics has a lot to do with a reluctance to subject machine tools to such an abrasive material. One way to make ceramic alumina zirconia parts is to machine them out of bisque. It is also plasma resistant.
