Amid the trend towards upgrading industrial manufacturing to “high-precision, high-tech and cutting-edge” standards, precision ceramic components have become the “cornerstone” of high-end sectors such as aerospace, electronic chips, medical devices and new energy, thanks to their high-temperature resistance, wear resistance, excellent insulation properties and superior biocompatibility.

In the field of precision manufacturing, industrial ceramics have become core consumables in high-end sectors such as aerospace and semiconductors, owing to their high strength, high-temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. However, ceramic materials are characterised by high hardness and brittleness, and complex components often feature a variety of characteristics, including thin walls, deep cavities and irregular curved surfaces.

Ceramic machining places extremely high demands on the hardness and wear resistance of cutting tools; standard tools used in conventional equipment can become unusable within minutes when machining ceramics, whereas the spindle speed and feed rate of specialist ceramic milling machines can be precisely adjusted to suit the characteristics of both the cutting tools and the ceramic material.
