Shalom EO is glad to announce the addition of Custom Shape Sapphire to our product catalog. 

Why Choose Sapphire?

Custom Shape Sapphire are sapphire parts with tailored specifications to meet unique needs across various industries and are designed utilizing the exceptional properties of sapphire with pertinence to the particular application. Sapphire crystals, made of Al2O3, exhibit a series of outstanding characteristics, including unmatched hardness, high optical transmittance, and endurance in severe conditions. Therefore sapphire is a versatile material that can be shaped into specific forms to serve distinct roles in fields like optics, electronics, aerospace, and medical devices.

The most distinguished trait of sapphire is its unparalleled hardness, ranking among the hardest substances, which contributes to its high resistance to wear and friction. This implies that sapphire components can maintain their optical clarity even in harsh environments, where there are frequent encounters with high-speed particles or abrasions, making sapphire excellent for aerospace windows, downhole or drilling vision, and watch faces. Besides, Sapphire is a preferred choice for applications requiring high-pressure vessels, deep-sea windows, and sight glasses with its superior strength against pressure.

The second characteristic that makes sapphire an appealing material is its optical transparency in the range of 190-5000nm, spanning across the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared spectral regions. This benefit of sapphire, in combination with thermal and plasma resistance, makes them suitable for high-power UV/VIS/IR applications and lasers.

Other notable advantages of sapphire include its outstanding thermal properties and chemical resistance. With high thermal conductance and low thermal expansion, sapphire is able to withstand temperatures up to 1950°C without distortion or degradation, thus a great option for high-temperature environments like combustion chambers, gas processing, and lamp shields. Regarding chemical resistance, sapphire can remain stable under attacks of most chemical substances, because of this reason sapphire shares a vital part in medical, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, and other industries that demand safe, pure chemical handling and processing.
