Lapping Services

Lapping services use a free-abrasive machining process to produce finished components with extreme dimensional accuracy and superior surface finish. They use a variety of lapping tools and lapping compounds to remove surface imperfections and achieve extremely close tolerances. Unlike other finishing processes, lapping does not introduce dimensional stress or high-temperature damage. Material capability is the most important specification to consider when selecting lapping services. Some companies specialize in working with metals such as aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, nickel, nickel alloys, steel, stainless steel, or titanium. Others work with carbides, precious metals, or hardened metals. Lapping services that finish non-metal materials such as ceramics, glass, composites, quartz, sapphire, ruby, marble, granite and stone are also available.
