The major difficulties in machining SiC lie in its material properties. Belonging to one type of advanced ceramics, SiC bears excellent mechanical characteristics, such as high melting point, high hardness, great chemical stability and abrasion resistance. Despite having these advantages has made this material useful within several industries, it is nevertheless relatively brittle. It could cause severe tool wear and sub-surface damage when receiving excessive cutting force, and this could also be a time-consuming machining process. ☑️ SiC Connecting Part Machining Information SiC Connecting Part Machining Information Material SiC Dimensions [Shoulder] 1st : Φ51 x 6mm [Shoulder] 2nd (upper) : Φ30 x 5mm Central Hole : Φ20 x 11mm Chamfer : R0.5*5 Methods Shoulder milling; Slot milling; Chamfer milling Machine Tool - Max.

Ultrasonic-Assisted Machining SiC Results Without ultrasonic-assisted machining, it might even be impossible to complete the SiC connecting part. Before adjusting the machining parameters when the ultrasonic was on, the SiC connecting part could be completed, but the process took 4 hours and one tool could only finish one workpiece. After adjusting the machining parameters when the ultrasonic was on, the process took 3 hours and one tool could finish three workpieces. HIT Ultrasonic Machining Technology Achievements 🕜 Efficiency increased 75% 📈 Quality improved - smooth surface without tool marks ⚙️ Tool Life increased 300% 💰 Cost saved - machining tool costs around US$200~300/per tool After adjusting parameters Before adjusting parameters Quality Smooth surface without tool marks - Efficiency 180 min/per workpiece 240 min/per workpiece Tool Life 3 pieces/per tool ≤ 1 piece/per tool SiC Connecting Part Machining - Industry Application SiC connecting part machining has been widely applied in many industries, such as Precision Machinery industry, Semiconductor industry and 3C Electronics industry. This material can be used for various products, including shaft seals, bulletproof vests, ceramic plates, MOSFETs, and power electronics, etc. 💡 SiC 5G power devices : SiC has many outstanding properties, such as high switching frequency, high operating temperature, high power density, great thermal management, etc. These advantages allow power devices made of this material to make power electronic modules more powerful and energy-efficient than those made with conventional materials. Machining this kind of material, however, requires huge expense in time and money due to its machining characteristics. This is where HIT's Ultrasonic Machining Module comes in handy! We offer a comprehensive solution in machining these difficult-to-cut materials. With the assistance of our Ultrasonic Machining Technology, cutting force is greatly reduced and the coolant can function effectively due to high-speed frequency oscillation. Clients need not worry about surface damage or edge-cracks in this kind of feature. We can assure our clients of matching up with their requirements or even achieving better outcome!
