Ceramic Finishing Capablities
Ceramics and more…
We provides a complete range of precision finishing options to make your fine ceramic components a functional part or assembly, including:
Shaping
- CNC grinding
- Laser machining
- Cutting
- Lapping & polishing
- Laser finishing
Coating
In addition to machining ceramic components, it is also possible to coat them. The type of coating is selected according to the application or environmental conditions and can therefore have different objectives.
- Treatment before coating
Sand-blasting
Glazing - Metallization paints
Moly-manganese
Tungsten-manganese
Moly-tungsten-manganese - Base materials for metallization
Aluminum oxide
Beryllium oxide
Sapphire
ALN
ZTA
Zirconia
BRAZING, BONDING, & JOINING
Ceramic to Metal Joint
In order to connect complex ceramic components to each other, XMCERA offers connection solutions based on metal inserts. Since it is not practical to attach threads to the ceramic components themselves, these must be made of a different material. These are adapted to the corresponding application conditions of the component, such as temperature or chemical environment. If the inserts or sleeves (e.g. metal sleeves V2A) are bonded in the component, holes of threads in various sizes (M3-M12) can be attached. In addition, XMCERA offers epoxy resin bonding of blind and through holes as well as epoxy seals.
Ceramic to Metal Brazing
Depending on the material type and part geometry, our experienced team of engineers will select the appropriate brazing fixtures, joint design, and process best-suited to your specific application. Through atmosphere or vacuum brazing, we join metal to metal and ceramic to metal in a highly controlled environment, helping protect assemblies from oxidation. The active metal brazing process is ideally suited for assembling metal substrates to ceramic parts without metallization and is in most cases a cost-effective solution performed by our in-house team of experts. As an added value for our clients, we are also capable of joining metal components by laser, TIG, and spot welding.
