Ceramic Lapping Process

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.

Ceramic lapping process.

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. Applications of lapping 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.

Just a quick look at our strucural ceramic lapping proccess. It is used in brittle material machining. Materials as large as 16 square or diameter. Typically lapping is used to achieve a surface roughness and flatness beyond the capabilities of standard grinding.

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. Lapping is the process of using a loose abrasive between two surfaces that rub together thus abrading the part. It is used in glass machining.

According to it lapping can be divided into two types. Achieving smoother surfaces on ceramic and other hard materials. Manufacture process of ceramic silicon tungsten alumina carbosystem duration. 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 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. The rubbing action in lapping can be done manually or by use of machine.
