Ceramic Lapping Process

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.

Ceramic lapping process.

The rubbing action in lapping can be done manually or by use of machine. Typically lapping is used to achieve a surface roughness and flatness beyond the capabilities of standard grinding. Lapping is a machining process in which two surfaces are rubbed together with an abrasive between them by hand movement or using a 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.

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

Applications of lapping process. Material can be lapped down to as thin as 003 with a tolerance as low as 0001. Lapping is the process of using a loose abrasive between two surfaces that rub together thus abrading the part. Just a quick look at our strucural ceramic lapping proccess.

Our customers like to use lapping when it is difficult or impossible to achieve a desired surface finish or flatness. Lapping is when a loose abrasive is used between two surfaces that rub together. This can take two forms. Materials as large as 16 square or diameter.

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. It is used in glass machining.
