Hot Zone of Sapphire Growing

Hot Zone of Sapphire Growing

 Application:

Sapphire crystal is the common form of single crystal. It has a series of excellent physical and chemical properties, such as high strength, high hardness, high temperature resistant, friction resistance, corrosion resistance, good pervious to light performance, good electrical insulating performance and etc .Therefore, sapphire can be widely used in national defense, scientific research, civilian industry, and other areas of the various demanding. Over the past five years, as LED lighting substrate and consumer electronic touch screen marked expanded, sapphire crystal industry got the best opportunities than ever before.

The sapphire melting point is 2045℃,it is such a high temperature that plenty of high melting point metal such as tungsten and molybdenum are used in the process of sapphire growing.

The methods of crystal growth:
- KY Method: Kyropoulos Method
- TGT Method
- EFG Method:Edge Defined Film-fed Growth
- HEM Method: Heat Exchange Method
- VHGF Method:Vertical Horiaontal Gradient Freezing Method
- Horizontal Bridgman method

KY Method 、HEM and EFG method are mainly used methods.

 Material Properties:

As the tungsten (melting point 3420℃) and molybdenum (melting point 2610℃) materials have high temperature resistant, low pollution, high temperature creep resistance and other properties, they are widely used for sapphire growing. We can provide all kinds of parts in the hot zone.
