Sapphire Rod
Sapphire rods are cylindrical structures made of single-crystal aluminum oxide (Al2O3), also known as sapphire. They are often used in industrial and scientific applications due to their high strength, hardness, and thermal stability. Sapphire rods can be produced in various sizes and shapes, ranging from a few millimeters to several centimeters in diameter and several centimeters to several meters in length.
Sapphire rods are known for their high optical clarity, making them ideal for use in optical systems and applications that require high-transparency materials. They are also highly resistant to chemical corrosion, making them suitable for use in harsh chemical environments. Sapphire rods are used in various industries, including aerospace, defense, electronics, and medical industries.
Sapphire rods can be manufactured using several methods, including the Czochralski method, the heat exchanger method, and the edge-defined film-fed growth (EFG) method. The Czochralski method involves melting a sapphire crystal and pulling a single crystal rod from the melt. The heat exchanger method involves pulling a seed crystal through a temperature gradient in a tube filled with molten sapphire. The EFG method involves drawing a seed crystal through a thin film of molten sapphire to produce a rod.
Sapphire rods can be further processed by cutting, grinding, and polishing to achieve specific shapes and surface finishes. They can also be coated with various materials to enhance their performance in specific applications.
