Sapphire rods tips customized polished optical rods premium micro sapphire rods
Sapphire rod is a cylindrical material made of high purity single crystal sapphire (Al₂O₃), which is widely used in semiconductor, photoelectric and scientific research fields due to its excellent physical and chemical properties. Its high hardness, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and excellent optical properties make it an ideal material for semiconductor manufacturing and high-end devices.
1. High hardness and wear resistance: sapphire has a Mohs hardness of 9, second only to diamond, which can resist mechanical wear and prolong service life.
2. High temperature resistance: sapphire rod can work stably in high temperature environment below 2000°C, suitable for semiconductor high temperature process.
3. Excellent chemical stability: Strong corrosion resistance to acids, alkalis and most chemical solvents, suitable for harsh chemical environments.
4. High transmittance: Excellent optical transmittance in the ultraviolet to infrared band, suitable for optical and photoelectric applications.
5. Low coefficient of thermal expansion: Low coefficient of thermal expansion ensures dimensional stability in high temperature environment and reduces deformation caused by thermal stress.
