Ceramic is one of the most widely used materials in industry and manufacturing. Ceramic can be found in products such as kitchenware and tableware, automotive parts and appliances, electronics, medical devices, industrial equipment, and even jewelry
There are many benefits to using ceramic materials for CNC turning. From a machining standpoint, ceramic has several advantages over metal
Ceramic Compared to Meta
Metal can be cut with a saw or lathe but it requires much more force to push through the material. Ceramic is much softer than metal and therefore requires less force to cut through it. With less force required to make cuts through the material, you will have more control over your workpiece as well as less chance of creating defects in your part due to over-cutting or under-cutting
Another advantage of using ceramic materials for CNC turning is that they are resistant to wear and tear compared to metals like aluminum or titanium which tend to chip easily after prolonged use. Ceramic parts also do not oxidize with exposure to air like other metals do which means they will retain their original color longer than metal parts do without having to be polished or coated with paint or powder coating.
