Lockheed Martin Energy Systems, Inc. and Ferro Corporation (formerly W. R. Grace, the original CRADA partner) have collaborated on an effort to develop techniques and processes for the cost-effective machining of ceramic components. The purpose of this effort was to develop a machining model, and grinding equipment machines and techniques for fabricating precision ceramic components. This project was designed to support Department of Energy (DOE) technical needs in manufacturing hard materials as well as enabling U.S. industry to maintain a position of leadership in the production of precision grinding machines and the machining of structural ceramic components.
