Ceramic Lapping Process

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.

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. According to it lapping can be divided into two types. It is used in ceramic machining. Lapping is when a loose abrasive is used between two surfaces that rub together.

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.

This can take two forms. The rubbing action in lapping can be done manually or by use of machine. Our customers like to use lapping when it is difficult or impossible to achieve a desired surface finish or flatness. 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.

It is used in brittle material machining. Lapping is the process of using a loose abrasive between two surfaces that rub together thus abrading the part. As these surfaces move past each other the ceramic component is slowly abraded away until a highly smooth surface finish is achieved. Material can be lapped down to as thin as 003 with a tolerance as low as 0001.

It is used in glass machining. Achieving smoother surfaces on ceramic and other hard materials.
