Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC)

Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC) is a high-temperature ceramic-matrix composite used in aerospace, energy and thermal-structural components. It is relevant to aerospace, transportation and high-performance structural components. For HANS, the machining focus is cutting, trimming, drilling and edge finishing, with tooling selected around the material’s hardness, brittleness, geometry and required surface condition.

Machining Challenges

Hard ceramic constituents, fiber reinforcement and anisotropy can cause rapid tool wear, edge breakout and subsurface damage.

Recommended Diamond Tool Solutions

Use diamond saws, grinding wheels and drills with rigid support, conservative feeds and suitable cooling/dust control. Optimize parameters for the specific matrix and reinforcement system.
