Ceramic Lapping Process

Ceramic lapping process.

Materials as large as 16 square or diameter. According to it lapping can be divided into two types. The rubbing action in lapping can be done manually or by use of machine. Lapping is a machining process in which two surfaces are rubbed together with an abrasive between them by hand movement or using a machine.

As these surfaces move past each other the ceramic component is slowly abraded away until a highly smooth surface finish is achieved. It is used in ceramic machining. Just a quick look at our strucural ceramic lapping proccess. 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.

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. 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. Our customers like to use lapping when it is difficult or impossible to achieve a desired surface finish or flatness. Lapping is the process of using a loose abrasive between two surfaces that rub together thus abrading the part.

Typically lapping is used to achieve a surface roughness and flatness beyond the capabilities of standard grinding. This can take two forms. It is used in glass machining. It is used in brittle material machining.

It is a expensive process. Applications of lapping process.
