Complex & 3D Machining of Exotic Hard Materials

“Many precision parts have been made in common metallic materials. But we machine exotic hard materials and make the same parts.”

With that motto, China Ceramic machining has specialized in ultra-hard materials such as advanced ceramics, glasses, refractory metals, and newly developed high performance materials like composite materials.

Our machining services include:	・CNC Machining to form a variety of shapes and features such as slots, grooves, trenches, steps/raised shapes, counter bores, threads, straight/tapered holes, etc. ・Outer Diameter/Inner Diameter Machining ・Turning ・Precision Grinding ・Cylindrical Grinding ・3D Machining of complicated contoured shapes

3D processing to difficult-to-cut materials

3D machining of ultra-hard materials requires both capabilities of machining hard-to-machine materials and 3D machining. To begin with, machining hard materials causes rapid tool wear. 3D machining usually requires long machining time, causing further damage to the tools. Tool wear directly affects the dimensional accuracy of the machined part.
It is also important to estimate thermal displacement of a machining center which occurs due to long machining time and make necessary adjustment. Appropriate tools, machining methods, and machining conditions are the keys to successful 3D machining of hard materials.
