Why Do Ceramics Crack During Machining? Root Causes and Fixes
Ceramic parts may become cracked during processing and dimensional accuracy may be reduced. Many of these defects are due to feed speed, tool selection, and cooling methods. This guide describes the root cause of cracks and chips, optimal machining parameters, tool selection, sintering control, and supplier evaluation for advanced ceramic processing methods. Why Do Advanced Ceramics Crack and Chip During Machining? Advanced ceramics are easily damaged due to the brittle nature. Unlike metal, ceramics are shattered when stress is applied. There are five main causes of ceramic cracking. If the feed speed is too fast, the impact load will occur. […]
