Machining non porous alumina ceramic.

Also fine diamond machining is used at ceramco to machine non ceramics including quartz. It resists attack by most gases including acid gases. It is also plasma resistant. Machining to micron accuracy is.

Precision ceramics is your alumina machining specialist for your technical ceramic prototyping manufacturing needs. We inventory a large supply of alumina material in powder form and solid forms. 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.

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. Alumina has excellent corrosion resistance. Bisque is semi fired material that machines easily with regular cutting tools and then is fired to full hardness. 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.

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. Shrinkage occurs during the final firing and this must be taken in to account but otherwise the material is pure ceramic. We are always happy to use our many years of advanced ceramics experience to provide advice on materials design and application.
