What is ceramic parts machining?
Ceramic parts machining is a complex and precise process that requires highly professional technical and equipment support. Professional ceramic machining manufacturers can provide a full range of solutions from raw material selection, manufacturing process to final product machining to meet the needs of different industries for high-performance ceramic parts.
Ceramic parts machining is a high-precision and difficult manufacturing process, involving a variety of advanced technology and equipment. We can understand some key information and process flow of ceramic parts machining.
Manufacturing process of ceramic parts
The manufacturing process of precision ceramics includes raw material preparation, crushing, mixing, molding, sintering, machining and other steps. The raw material is first prepared and mixed with high precision control, and then the blank is formed by various forming methods (such as rubber stamping, pressure forming, etc.). During the sintering process, the water and adhesive in the raw material are removed and the powder particles are fused to form a dense, hard product.
Machining technology of ceramic parts
Since the hardness of ceramic materials is very high, the machining after sintering usually requires the use of hard tools such as diamond grinding wheels. Cutting, hot pressing, grinding, grinding and so on are common ceramic machining technology. For example, numerical control milling machines (CNC) can process ceramic parts with high dimensional accuracy and complex shapes, while ceramic surface grinding machines are suitable for the plane and step of the product to ensure high dimensional accuracy and flatness.
How are high precision ceramic parts processed
1, first of all, after receiving the machining requirements of customer drawings, before starting precision machining, we should choose the appropriate CNC machine tool and prepare multiple sets of economical and effective machining technology solutions. The appearance of high machining quality requirements is divided into machining stages, which can generally be divided into roughing, semi-finishing and finishing three stages. It is mainly to ensure the machining quality, which is conducive to the scientific application of the equipment. Easy access to heat
2. Then develop the corresponding machining plan CNC machining precision ceramic parts analysis, analysis of the drawings of the parts to be machined, analysis of the machining content of ceramic parts, the use of appropriate machining technology
3. Secondly, for the choice of material hardness, for some occasions, the higher the hardness of the material, the better. Limited to the hardness requirements of machining machine parts. The material is soft and hard, at least one level lower than the hardness of machine parts. Therefore, the most basic thing is to pay attention to the density of the material before machining.
4. Then, in the machining of high-precision ceramic parts, the preparation and design of the process flow is very important, because the process steps of ceramic parts machining, the selection of the benchmark, the selection of the machining tool, the selection and installation of the fixture, and the determination of the machining strategy and process parameters will affect the quality of the product.
5, finally, in the process of high-precision ceramic parts machining, but also pay attention to a comprehensive inspection of product quality before the arrangement of shipment, such as does not meet the drawing, will be reprocessed to meet the drawing size, accuracy, tolerance, technical parameters and other requirements.
Ceramic materials are widely used in many high-end industrial fields because of their unique physical and chemical properties. For example, alumina, zirconia, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, aluminum nitride and other ceramic materials have high temperature resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, acid and alkali resistance, anti-magnetic, anti-pressure and other characteristics. These characteristics make ceramic parts play an important role in many fields such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, and medical.
