Precision ceramic components and parts customized machining process
Ceramic components and parts machining involves material selection, pretreatment, roughing, semi-finishing, finishing and quality control. Alumina, silicon nitride and other ceramic materials are used to remove the surplus through milling, grinding and other technologies, and finally ultrafine grinding, polishing and other finishing. The machining process requires strict control of the tool, cutting parameters and machining environment to ensure that the quality of the components and parts meets the design requirements. The use of new technology and equipment can improve the machining accuracy and efficiency.
First, the general process of customizing a batch of ceramic components
1. Customer demand analysis: First of all, it is necessary to conduct in-depth communication with customers to understand their needs and expectations, including the shape, size, color, texture and other requirements of ceramic components. This step is crucial for subsequent design and production.
2. Design plan: According to the needs of customers, designers will carry out preliminary design, including the overall shape of the ceramic components, detail machining, etc. In the design process, designers need to fully consider the characteristics of ceramic materials to ensure the feasibility of the design.
3. Design plan confirmation: The design plan will be submitted to the customer for confirmation, if necessary, can be adjusted according to customer feedback. After the scheme is confirmed, the next stage of production preparation can be entered.
4. Mold making: According to the design scheme, make the corresponding mold. The quality of the mold directly affects the molding effect of the ceramic components, so it is necessary to choose high-quality mold materials and professional mold making process.
5. Raw material preparation: According to the design scheme and mold requirements, select the appropriate ceramic raw materials, such as China clay, quartz sand, etc. The selection and proportion of raw materials have a great influence on the performance and appearance of ceramic components.
6. Molding: Put the prepared raw materials into the mold and form them through the ceramic carving and milling machine. During the molding process, it is necessary to pay attention to the control of pressure, temperature and other parameters to ensure the molding quality of the ceramic components.
7. Demoulding and dressing: After the molding is completed, the ceramic components is removed from the mold for demoulding. Then, the ceramic components is trimmed to remove burrs, flaws, etc., to ensure that its surface is smooth and without damage.
8. Sintering: the finished ceramic components is sintered to make it a hard ceramic product. During the sintering process, it is necessary to pay attention to the control of temperature, time and other parameters to ensure the performance and appearance of the ceramic components.
9. Surface treatment: According to customer requirements, the surface treatment of ceramic components, such as grinding, polishing, glazing, etc. Surface treatment can improve the appearance and wear resistance of ceramic components.
Precision ceramic components and parts machining process
The machining process of ceramic components and parts mainly includes three stages: roughing, semi-finishing and finishing.
1. Roughing stage: The use of milling, turning and other traditional machining methods to remove most of the margin, so that the components and parts close to the final shape. Due to the hardness and brittleness of ceramic materials, it is necessary to select the appropriate tool and cutting parameters during roughing to avoid tool wear and components and parts breakage.
2. Semi-finishing stage: on the basis of rough machining, further adjust the shape and size of the components and parts. At this stage, grinding, grinding and other methods can be used to obtain higher surface quality and accuracy. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to controlling the machining temperature and the use of coolant to prevent the generation of thermal deformation and cracks in the material.
3. Finishing stage: After the shape and size of the components and parts are basically determined, finishing is carried out to improve the surface quality and accuracy of the components and parts. Finishing methods include ultra-fine grinding, polishing and grinding. At this stage, special attention needs to be paid to the selection of tools during machining, the adjustment of cutting parameters and the control of the machining environment to ensure the machining quality and efficiency of the components and parts.
10. Quality inspection: Quality inspection of the completed surface treatment of the ceramic components to ensure that it meets customer requirements and standards. If there are non-conforming products, they need to be reworked or scrapped.
11. Packaging and delivery: The qualified ceramic components is packaged to ensure that it will not be damaged during transportation. Finally, according to the customer's requirements for delivery.
