Ceramic Inserts are indexable inserts made from Aluminium Oxide Al 2 O 3 or Silicon Nitride Si 3 N 4. They have a hardness of 2,100-2,500 HV (About 40% above carbide), which enables them to machine Hard Steel up to 55 HRC. Ever wonder what turns simple mud or stone into a shiny white sink or a glossy, heat-proof plate? Clay, feldspar, and silica are the key players here. These raw materials make ceramics work. Each one has its own strengths and jobs. In traditional ceramics, these are typically classified by their function into plastic materials, non-plastic materials (shortening agents), and fluxing. As a non-metal tool material, ceramics are widely used in the field of metal cutting. Types and. The crucial role of raw materials and additives, as well as powders, production materials, and ancillaries in ceramic production processes, is highlighted through a dedicated exhibition area at ceramitec.
