Sapphire Rods Industrial Applications sapphire tubes Custom size EFG method

Preparation Raw Material: High purity aluminum oxide (Al2O3) is usually used as the growth raw material.

Filler and power: Add appropriate amount of filler to control the crystallization rate, melt and mix the raw materials by heating, and keep the temperature constant under suitable power.

Crystallization Growth: Seed sapphire is placed on the melt surface and sapphire growth is achieved by gradually lifting and rotating the crystals.

Controlled Cooling Rate: The cooling rate is controlled to prevent stresses from building up, resulting in high quality sapphire tubes.

The fabrication process involves advanced machining techniques to create irregular shapes while ensuring dimensional accuracy and surface quality. Each sapphire rod undergoes meticulous polishing to achieve sub-nanometer surface roughness, essential for optimal optical performance in industrial settings.

Characterization studies focus on assessing the optical and mechanical properties of the customized sapphire rods. Optical transmission, dispersion, and birefringence are evaluated to ensure superior optical clarity and minimal light scattering, while mechanical strength tests confirm the robustness and durability of the rods under various operating conditions.

The unique properties of sapphire, including its exceptional hardness, thermal stability, and chemical resistance, make it an ideal material for demanding industrial applications. The customized sapphire rods demonstrate exceptional performance in environments characterized by high temperatures, corrosive chemicals, and abrasive conditions.

Applications of the irregular customized sapphire rods in industrial settings include but are not limited to:
