Yes! Alumina can be polished to a submicron-level surface roughness (Ra < 0.1 μm) using diamond lapping and fine grinding.
What is the typical lead time for Alumina CNC machining?
Lead times depend on part complexity and quantity, but standard orders typically take 2-4 weeks. For urgent projects, expedited manufacturing options are available.
What are the benefits of Alumina over other ceramics?
Alumina offers higher hardness and thermal resistance than many ceramics. Compared to Zirconia (ZrO₂), Alumina is more thermally stable. Compared to Silicon Carbide (SiC), it is
more electrically insulating.
Can you machine custom Alumina parts?
Yes! We offer custom Alumina compositions and tolerances for unique applications. Contact us for a custom quote.
What machining techniques are best for Alumina?
Because Alumina is brittle and hard, the best techniques include diamond grinding, ultrasonic-assisted machining, and high-precision CNC milling.
What is Alumina (Al₂O₃) used for in CNC machining?
Alumina is used in high-precision machining for electronics, aerospace, and medical devices, thanks to its high strength, temperature resistance, and electrical insulation.
