STEP 2: Green Machining
| The machining of a ceramic in the
unfired state is called green machining. Green machining of
ceramics is done whenever possible since the machining of
ceramics after firing is very costly. The machining centers
found in our plant are very similar to those found in
standard machine shops; CNC mills, and CNC lathes drilling
equipment, cut-off saws, surface grinders, rotary grinders,
as well as many machines that have been custom made
in-house. |

However, the extremely abrasive
nature of ceramics requires the use of carbide and PCD tools
and abrasive wheels. |
