Aluminum Oxynitride (AlON) Transparent Ceramic & Optical Components

Aluminum Oxynitride (AlON) Transparent Ceramic & Optical Components is a engineering ceramic used in wear, thermal, structural, optical or precision technical components. It is relevant to precision ceramic, wear, structural and thermal components. For HANS, the machining focus is cutting, grinding, drilling and lapping, with tooling selected around the material’s hardness, brittleness, geometry and required surface condition.

Machining Challenges

High hardness and brittle fracture behavior make chipping, microcracks, subsurface damage and slow stock removal key machining concerns.

Recommended Diamond Tool Solutions

Use diamond saws, grinding wheels, core drills and fine lapping tools selected for the ceramic density and microstructure. Control runout, infeed and coolant to minimize edge damage and thermal load.
