Pre-sintered ZYTTRIA Z401 WHITE TRASLUCENT, ZYTTRIA Z402 EXTRA-TRASLUCENT, ZYTTRIA Z402 EXTRA-TRASLUCENT PLUS and ZYTTRIA Z COLOR components are processed using the following procedure:
- Insert the component on the milling machine support
- Program milling considering the final dimensions of the structure
- Process the component with a tungsten carbide or diamond-point milling machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions of the system used
- Keep the product and tool clean during milling with jets of air or water
- Dry the structure with infrared lamps or drying ovens
- Before sintering, check the ceramic structure is undamaged
- Sinter the ceramic structure with a suitable kiln
- Remove the sintered structure from the kiln only after it has returned to room temperature
- Quality check with Concept MICROCHECK system that the sintered structures are free from microcracks
- Test the ceramic structure on the reference model, check its precision and, if necessary, make the appropriate grinding using water-cooled diamond-point turbines
- If necessary, sandblast the sintered structure with 60/100 micron aluminium dioxide at a pressure of 1-2 bar
- Clean the sintered structure with water. Do not use steam-jet equipments or autoclaves
