Ceramic Lapping Process

Lapping is a machining process in which two surfaces are rubbed together with an abrasive between them by hand movement or using a machine.

Ceramic lapping process.

Materials as large as 16 square or diameter. The rubbing action in lapping can be done manually or by use of machine. According to it lapping can be divided into two types. Achieving smoother surfaces on ceramic and other hard materials.

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. Manufacture process of ceramic silicon tungsten alumina carbosystem duration. Typically lapping is used to achieve a surface roughness and flatness beyond the capabilities of standard grinding.

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

This can take two forms. Material can be lapped down to as thin as 003 with a tolerance as low as 0001. 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.
