Grinding and cutting

Grinding cutting is a common precision cutting method for ceramic components. It uses abrasive particles with high hardness to process ceramic components, and cuts the grain structure of the ceramic components surface by grinding. Grinding cutting is suitable for ceramic components materials with low hardness, such as alumina and zirconia. This method can achieve high precision cutting, but the cutting speed is slow, and the surface quality may be damaged.

Electric spark cutting

Electric discharge cutting (EDM) is a method of cutting using the principle of EDM discharge. By forming a discharge channel on the ceramic components surface, the ceramic components material can be partially melted, evaporated or decomposed by oxidation, so as to achieve cutting. Edm cutting is suitable for ceramic components materials with higher hardness, such as silicon carbide and silicon nitride. This method can achieve high speed and high precision cutting, but the operation is complicated and the equipment requirements are high.

Laser cutting

Laser cutting is a method that uses laser beam to process ceramic components. Cutting is achieved by focusing a high-energy laser beam on a ceramic components, causing it to locally melt, vaporize, or sinter. Laser cutting is suitable for various hardness of ceramic components materials, with very high cutting accuracy and speed. However, laser cutting equipment has high cost and strict requirements for the operating environment, and is suitable for small batch high-precision cutting.

Ultrasonic cutting

Ultrasonic cutting is the use of ultrasonic vibration conduction to the tool, through the interaction between the tool and the ceramic components to achieve cutting. Ultrasonic cutting is suitable for brittle materials, including ceramic components, glass, etc. Its advantages are fast cutting speed, no heat affected zone, and can realize the cutting of complex shapes. However, ultrasonic cutting has higher requirements for tool design and selection, and is only suitable for small-size parts cutting.

The methods described above are only some common methods in ceramic components precision cutting, and with the development of science and technology, new cutting technologies will continue to emerge. In practical applications, it is necessary to choose the most suitable cutting method according to the characteristics of ceramic components materials, cutting requirements and production costs. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the process control and tool maintenance during the cutting process to ensure the stability of the cutting effect and the reliability of the quality.
