Machining non porous alumina ceramic.

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. Also fine diamond machining is used at ceramco to machine non ceramics including quartz. 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.

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. Manufacturers alumina ceramic materials in purities ranging from 96 99 99 in various sizes and shapes including substrates. It is also plasma resistant. This is the most cost effective solution.

We inventory a large supply of alumina material in powder form and solid forms. Precision ceramics is your alumina machining specialist for your technical ceramic prototyping manufacturing needs. Machining to micron accuracy is. The resistance to machining ceramics has a lot to do with a reluctance to subject machine tools to such an abrasive material.

Because it has been a popular ceramic material we have extensive experience in machining it. One way to make ceramic alumina zirconia parts is to machine them out of bisque. Alumina has excellent corrosion resistance. Bisque is semi fired material that machines easily with regular cutting tools and then is fired to full hardness.
