Specialist materials are those that have been selected because of their specific physical or chemical properties. These properties could include their thermal expansion coefficients, their inertness, their thermal conductivity or their ability to withstand ultra-high temperatures. Such materials can be costly to produce which means material wastage from the cutting process needs to be minimised. We have experience with cutting: various ceramics (96% alumina, Shapel Aluminum Nitride, Macor, Boron Nitride, Silicon Carbide), ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, Molybdenum & Iridium, graphite, composite multi-layer panels. Applications of specialist materials include: - Heat sinks for high power semiconductors - Electrode contacts - In vitro diagnostic medical devices - Fuel cell technologies Loadpoint’s diversity of experience As we are routinely approached to get involved in ground-breaking new projects that involve machining special materials, we have consequently built up a wide knowledge on many specialist materials. We are finding that if customers do supply us with materials we have not cut before, it is very likely we can draw upon our experiences with similar materials. There are two options for you to pursue specialist materials dicing and processing. Firstly, Loadpoint manufacture a number of machine systems so you can perform the work at your premises. Secondly, Loadpoint offer dicing solutions whereby you send us your material and specifications and we will dice and return the work for you.
