20140124991 | METHODS FOR THREADING SINTERABLE MATERIALS AND RELATED APPARATUS AND SYSTEMS - Methods for threading ceramic materials, such as ceramic materials used for spinal implants or other biomedical implants. In some implementations, an expected rate of shrinkage of the block upon undergoing a firing process may be determined. A scaling factor may then be applied using the expected rate of shrinkage to select a tap having a size larger than a desired thread size. A green block may then be tapped with the selected tap to form a threaded opening in the green block. The block may be machined in order to remove cracks caused by the tapping process and/or to form the block into a desired shape/size. The green block may then be fired, which may result in a reduction of a size of the block and a size of the threaded opening. | 05-08-2014 |
