Ceramic Hard Machining

The main advantage that mixed ceramic has over cubic boron nitride cbn in hard part machining applications is the effect on part production costs.

Ceramic hard machining.

Since 1982 kadco has focused on providing engineering assistance and production solutions to a broad spectrum of industrial and r d needs. We machine these materials to very precise tolerances many times measured in millionths of an inch for dimension flatness wedge and roundness or cylindricity. Ceramics can be made from several different types of hard metal oxides or nitrides. Whilst cbn has a better tool life the cost per edge of a ceramic insert is a fraction of that of cbn approx one twentieth whilst feed rates chip thickness around 0 1mm and cutting speeds.

High precision machining of hard materials since 1947 insaco has been a precision machining and polishing fabricator of parts from all technical ceramics sapphire glass and quartz. Kadco ceramics is dedicated to the precision diamond machining of hard materials into intricate shapes.
