Ceramic Lapping Process

Our customers like to use lapping when it is difficult or impossible to achieve a desired surface finish or flatness.

Ceramic lapping process.

Material can be lapped down to as thin as 003 with a tolerance as low as 0001. Just a quick look at our strucural ceramic lapping proccess. Materials as large as 16 square or diameter. Lapping is when a loose abrasive is used between two surfaces that rub together.

Typically lapping is used to achieve a surface roughness and flatness beyond the capabilities of standard grinding. Applications of lapping process. It is a expensive process. As these surfaces move past each other the ceramic component is slowly abraded away until a highly smooth surface finish is achieved.

This can take two forms. Lapping is the process of using a loose abrasive between two surfaces that rub together thus abrading the part. The rubbing action in lapping can be done manually or by use of machine. The first type of lapping traditionally called grinding involves rubbing a brittle material such as glass against a surface such as iron or glass itself also known as the lap or grinding tool with an abrasive such as.

Lapping is a machining process in which two surfaces are rubbed together with an abrasive between them by hand movement or using a machine. Manufacture process of ceramic silicon tungsten alumina carbosystem duration. It is used in glass machining. The object is to produce parts with a uniformly smooth and usually flat surface a surface that has been lapped exhibits a dull non reflective and multi directional appearance.

Achieving smoother surfaces on ceramic and other hard materials. It is used in ceramic machining.
