Machining Non Porous Alumina Ceramic

It resists attack by most gases including acid gases.

Machining non porous alumina ceramic. One way to make ceramic alumina zirconia parts is to machine them out of bisque. We are always happy to use our many years of advanced ceramics experience to provide advice on materials design and application. Alumina has a good machinability compared to other engineering ceramics. Precision ceramics is your alumina machining specialist for your technical ceramic prototyping manufacturing needs.

Because it has been a popular ceramic material we have extensive experience in machining it. Buy custom alumina components. The resistance to machining ceramics has a lot to do with a reluctance to subject machine tools to such an abrasive material. Also fine diamond machining is used at ceramco to machine non ceramics including quartz.

Machining to micron accuracy is. 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. Manufacturers alumina ceramic materials in purities ranging from 96 99 99 in various sizes and shapes including substrates. Bisque is semi fired material that machines easily with regular cutting tools and then is fired to full hardness.

We inventory a large supply of alumina material in powder form and solid forms. This is the most cost effective solution. Shrinkage occurs during the final firing and this must be taken in to account but otherwise the material is pure ceramic. It is also plasma resistant.
