STEP 4: After Firing Operations
DIAMOND GRINDING - Post
firing machining may be required to achieve tight
tolerances, and surface finishes. At this stage ceramic can
only be machined with diamonds, so tooling can be costly.
Standard machine shop equipment can be modified with diamond
plated or impregnated wheels, drills and assorted tools, as
well as necessary re-circulating and filtered coolant
systems. |

CLEANING - Most fired
alumina ceramics can become dirty through handling,
machining or inspecting. These oils, dirt and metal marks
can be removed using a variety of techniques. Ultrasonic
cleaning in mildly acidic or basic solutions at elevated
temperatures is commonly done. URI utilizes special cleaning
and packaging processes which are highly desirable for
applications sensitive to contamination.
