Ceramic Hard Machining

Additionally materials like silicon carbide sic may not fit the precise definition of a ceramic material but they can still be classified as part of the ceramic family.

Ceramic hard machining.

Following a final firing when as fired tolerances are not sufficient fine diamond machining grinding using diamond impregnated cutters is often required. We machine these materials to very precise tolerances many times measured in millionths of an inch for dimension flatness wedge and roundness or cylindricity. Kadco ceramics is dedicated to the precision diamond machining of hard materials into intricate shapes. Fine diamond machining full density parts ceramic parts fired to their full density are too hard for machining with tool steel cutters or even conventional methods.

Since 1982 kadco has focused on providing engineering assistance and production solutions to a broad spectrum of industrial and r d needs. The main advantage that mixed ceramic has over cubic boron nitride cbn in hard part machining applications is the effect on part production costs.
