The main application areas of sapphire crystals

Sapphire is characterized by high biocompatibility compared with metals and polymers. Therefore, sapphire can be used as a medical implant device, as a structural material for biotechnology in medical device manufacturing and genetic engineering.

Today, sapphire is mainly used in:

 � The base material for making light-emitting diodes, a new generation of television receivers, projectors and microwave devices.

 � Manufacture of windows for civilian and military equipment.

 � Manufacture of bearings and transparent windows for watches and instruments

 � Making precious stones for the jewellery industry

Light-emitting diode light sources are used to replace incandescent lamps, reducing power consumption by a factor of 10. It has been calculated that due to the replacement of traditional light sources by light-emitting diodes in lighting systems worldwide, the savings would be equivalent to the cost of several hundred nuclear power plants. It goes without saying that there are or will be sapphire components in huge production volumes of television receivers, cell phones and other household appliances today.

The gist of this argument is that process technology using sapphire devices has permeated practically all fields of science and engineering, and has contributed to the most recent book "History of Science and Engineering" (2004, Houghton Mifflin) and the world from 1990 to the present. · Confirmed by analysis of patents granted by the industry. About 5-7% of these publications are related to sapphire in some way.

Over the past few years, the range of synthetic sapphire products has grown dramatically, and the quality requirements for their working surfaces have become more stringent. Therefore, special attention is focused on controlling the possibility of structural perfection not only during the processing of the sapphire growth but also during the subsequent thermal and mechanochemical processing. A great deal of effort has been devoted to studying the effects of thermal dynamics on the structural evolution of sapphire devices to develop essentially new sapphire processing methods.

Kunshan Shuojing Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. is involved in a wide range of new materials, and has complete preparation methods and means for functional ceramics and sapphire crystals, scintillation crystals, and laser crystals, forming optically transparent ceramics, sapphire optical windows, scintillation crystals, lasers and nonlinear crystals The main four series of high-tech products.
