2026,01,12

News Report (Reporter: Doubao) As the global high-end manufacturing industry accelerates its transformation towards precision and intelligence, Ceramic Fibre Oilstone, a key grinding and polishing consumable, is ushering in a dual boom in market demand and technological innovation. This grinding tool, compounded by special processes with high-purity ceramic fibers and thermoplastic resin as core raw materials, has become an indispensable core consumable in fields such as mold manufacturing, aerospace, auto parts processing, and semiconductors, thanks to its excellent performance. It promotes the precision machining industry to achieve dual breakthroughs in efficiency and quality.

The core competitiveness of ceramic fibre oilstone stems from its unique material composition and process design. According to industry technical standards and measured data, the product adopts composite molding technology of ceramic particles and resin, and realizes uniform distribution of abrasives through fiber cross-arrangement technology. It not only has core characteristics of high hardness, wear resistance, and not easy to break, but also can effectively solve industry pain points of traditional oilstones such as low grinding efficiency, easy workpiece scratches, and thermal deformation. Compared with traditional grinding tools, ceramic fibre oilstone has excellent surface temperature control during grinding, which can avoid performance degradation of workpieces caused by overheating. At the same time, its abrasive particles are not easy to fall off, which can ensure that the surface finish of processing meets the requirements of precision manufacturing, and the grinding efficiency is significantly higher than that of traditional oilstones.

In terms of product classification and application scenarios, ceramic fibre oilstone presents diversified adaptation characteristics. According to the shape, it can be divided into two categories: flat and round, which are respectively suitable for processing parts of different structures; according to the particle size, it can be divided into multiple grades from 220# (coffee color), 300# (tea color), 400# (orange color) to 1200# (red color). The higher the particle size number, the finer the abrasive particles, which can meet the whole-process needs from carbon deposit removal after EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining), cutting mark grinding to fine grinding before mirror finishing. In specific applications, the product can accurately adapt to fine parts that are difficult to reach by traditional grinding tools, such as mold groove bottoms, fine seams, narrow grooves, and curved surfaces. It is especially suitable for precision polishing of materials such as plastic steel molds, cemented carbide workpieces, and jade crafts. At the same time, it performs prominently in high-end scenarios such as hardened surface treatment after mold EDM and semiconductor wafer edge grinding.

From the perspective of industry application data, the market demand for ceramic fibre oilstone is continuously growing with the upgrading of high-end manufacturing. The market size of China's fiber oilstone industry has grown from 7.86 billion yuan in 2020 to 10.23 billion yuan in 2023, with a compound annual growth rate of 9.2%. Among them, ceramic fibre oilstone, as a high-end segmented product, has contributed the main growth momentum. In terms of regions, the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta, as core agglomeration areas of China's manufacturing industry, contribute 43% and 28% of the national production capacity respectively, while the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle has become an emerging growth pole with a growth rate of 15% per year. The downstream application side shows structural differentiation characteristics. In 2024, the demand growth rate for precision grinding of auto parts reached 14.7%, and the compound annual growth rate of demand in the semiconductor wafer processing field was as high as 31.5%. Emerging scenarios such as precision polishing of medical devices are continuously releasing incremental market space, and the annual new demand scale is expected to reach 1.2 billion yuan.

Technological innovation and standardization are the core supports for the healthy development of the ceramic fibre oilstone industry. At present, a relatively complete technical standard system has been formed for the production and manufacturing of this product. For example, the national standard GB/T 14320-1993 "Ceramic Bond High-Strength Honing Oilstone" clearly stipulates key indicators such as product classification, dimensional deviation, hardness grade, and appearance quality, providing an important basis for standardized production in the industry. At the same time, industry technological innovation is focusing on high-end fields such as micro-nano structure regulation and intelligent perception. Leading enterprises have realized the industrial application of nano-coating technology, and the product service life has increased by 2.3 times compared with traditional products; some enterprises have developed embedded sensor oilstone products, which can real-time monitor grinding force and temperature changes, providing data support for intelligent grinding production lines, and is expected to restructure the high-end market pattern.
