Following a final firing when as fired tolerances are not sufficient fine diamond machining grinding using diamond impregnated cutters is often required.
Ceramic hard machining.
Kadco ceramics is dedicated to the precision diamond machining of hard materials into intricate shapes.
Ceramics can be made from several different types of hard metal oxides or nitrides.
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.
We machine these materials to very precise tolerances many times measured in millionths of an inch for dimension flatness wedge and roundness or cylindricity.
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.
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.
