Key Features and Advantages of Custom-Shaped Sapphire Windows
1. Exceptional Hardness and Wear Resistance
Custom-shaped sapphire windows are manufactured from high-purity single-crystal Al₂O₃ material, achieving a Mohs hardness rating of 9 - second only to diamond's perfect 10. This extraordinary hardness endowment enables our sapphire windows to demonstrate unparalleled scratch resistance, with wear resistance exceeding standard soda-lime glass by 200 times and tempered glass by 20 times. In practical applications, these custom-shaped sapphire windows effectively withstand abrasion from daily contaminants including sand particles and metal tools, making them ideal for high-wear environments such as smartphone screen protectors and industrial equipment viewports.
2. Superior Optical Performance
The custom-shaped sapphire windows exhibit outstanding optical characteristics, maintaining over 85% transmittance across a broad spectral range of 400-5000nm, with average visible light transmission (380-780nm) reaching 90%. With refractive indices between 1.76-1.78 and birefringence below 0.008, these exceptional optical parameters establish our custom-shaped sapphire windows as the premium choice for high-end optical instruments. Through proprietary polishing techniques, we achieve surface roughness below Ra 0.5nm, significantly reducing light scattering losses. Furthermore, we've developed multiple functional optical coatings for these windows, including broadband anti-reflection coatings and cut-off filters, substantially expanding their optical application potential.
3. Complex Geometry Customization Capabilities
Leveraging advanced manufacturing technologies, we provide comprehensive customization services for custom-shaped sapphire windows with complex geometries. From basic circular and rectangular profiles to intricate polygonal shapes, curved surfaces, and specialized configurations incorporating micro-holes or channels - all can be precision-engineered.
4. Environmental Stability
The custom-shaped sapphire windows demonstrate remarkable environmental resilience. With a melting point of 2053°C, they maintain structural integrity at temperatures up to 1800°C for short durations. The thermal expansion coefficient of 7.5×10⁻⁶/K ensures dimensional stability across an operational temperature range of -60°C to 300°C.
5. Cost Efficiency Advantages
Our custom-shaped sapphire windows offer significant cost benefits. Through optimized production processes and economies of scale, we've established a highly efficient supply chain capable of delivering standard products within 7-15 days. For urgent R&D projects, we provide expedited services with sample delivery in as little as 72 hours. These competitive advantages make our custom-shaped sapphire windows particularly attractive for large-scale commercial applications.
