Ceramic Lapping Process

Applications of lapping process.

Ceramic lapping process. It is a expensive process. Materials as large as 16 square or diameter. Material can be lapped down to as thin as 003 with a tolerance as low as 0001. Lapping is a machining process in which two surfaces are rubbed together with an abrasive between them by hand movement or using a machine.

This can take two forms. According to it lapping can be divided into two types. The rubbing action in lapping can be done manually or by use of machine. 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.

Our customers like to use lapping when it is difficult or impossible to achieve a desired surface finish or flatness. 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. Just a quick look at our strucural ceramic lapping proccess. It is used in glass machining.

Achieving smoother surfaces on ceramic and other hard materials. Manufacture process of ceramic silicon tungsten alumina carbosystem duration. It is used in ceramic machining. As these surfaces move past each other the ceramic component is slowly abraded away until a highly smooth surface finish is achieved.

Lapping is an averaging process where the greatest material removal occurs where the high points of the surface of the part contact the flat lap plate. Lapping is the process of using a loose abrasive between two surfaces that rub together thus abrading the part.
