Lapping Process to Change the Efficiency and Accuracy of Large SiC and Ceramic Components.

Polishing (Lapping) is a processing method that uses loose abrasive grains (slurry) to polish the surface of a wafer or workpiece. Also called mirror polishing or lapping process. NAGASE has developed an ultra-large lapping machine for high-precision machining of large ceramic parts and sapphire wafers, which are difficult to mirror-finish by grinding. Facing accuracy of less than 1μm at ⌀2m. The amount of abrasive grains processed is large, enabling ultra-mirror finishing of SiC, ceramic parts, sapphire, and other materials at approximately twice the efficiency of conventional methods.
