Sapphire Ball

You are here:

Sapphire ball, crafted from synthetic sapphire, are renowned for their exceptional hardness and optical clarity. These precision-engineered components are utilized in a variety of high-performance applications due to their robustness and resistance to extreme conditions.

Key Features of Sapphire Ball

Superior Hardness: Sapphire is second only to diamond in terms of hardness, providing outstanding resistance to scratches and wear.

High Temperature Stability: Capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, sapphire balls maintain their integrity and performance in harsh environments.

Optical Clarity: With excellent transparency across a wide range of wavelengths, sapphire balls are ideal for optical applications.

Chemical Resistance: Resistant to most acids and alkalis, sapphire balls are perfect for use in chemically aggressive environments.

Dimensional Precision: Manufactured with high precision, these balls have tight tolerances for sphericity and diameter, ensuring consistent performance.

Manufacturing Process

The production of sapphire balls involves several critical steps:

Material Preparation: Using high-purity synthetic sapphire (99.99% Al2O3), ensuring superior optical and physical properties.

Shaping and Rough Grinding: Initial shaping with mechanical tools followed by rough grinding to form an approximate sphere.

Precision Grinding: Advanced grinding techniques achieve the desired spherical precision.

Polishing: Meticulous polishing enhances surface quality, making the balls suitable for high-precision applications.

Coating: Application of optical coatings, such as anti-reflective films, to enhance performance.
