In this video, we demonstrate the precision grinding process for long alumina (Al₂O₃) ceramic rods, which are extremely hard and fragile. more How do you process the end face of a long alumina ceramic rod without damaging it? In this video, we demonstrate the precision. This technique offers several advantages in ceramic grinding applications: Techniques: ID grinding. Some of the most prominent include: A SiC whisker-reinforced Al2O3 ceramic that is very effective at machining nickel- and cobalt-based super alloys. Advanced ceramics require a much more precise manufacturing process than utility ceramics: in particular, tighter grain size tolerances, higher purity of the material, and sophisticated firing processes such as hot isostatic pressing or firing under a reducing atmosphere.
