Synthetic Sapphire Crystal Watch Case With Advanced Optical
Properties
Sapphire—a material that is almost as hard as diamond—has been used
in watches for years as the crystals over the dials (in part due to
being extremely scratch-resistant). It’s not the easiest material
to work with, due to its extreme toughness. It can be difficult to
cut and mold, but boundaries are pushing by cutting blocks of it
into unique and fun shapes.Everything from traditional round cases
to tonneau, square, and even wildly unexpected shapes that resemble
car engines or jets.
The main features of this method are:
1) In the process of crystal growth, it is convenient to observe
the growth of crystals;
2) The crystal grows on the free liquid surface, is not forced by
the crucible, can reduce the stress of the crystal;
3) It can be easily used to use the desired orientation seed
crystal and "shrink neck" process, which helps to grow higher
quality crystals at a relatively fast rate, and the crystal
integrity is better;
4) The forced convection and natural convection interaction caused
by the rotation of crystals and crucibles make the complex fluid
flow action insurmountable and prone to crystal defects;
5) Mechanical disturbances tend to cause defects in the growth of
large diameter crystals.

FATURES
1. High mechanical strength: the permeable infrared window material
should have sufficient strength to withstand the high-speed
movement of the speed pressure load;
2. Good thermal stability: the permeable infrared window material
should be able to withstand the temperature shock caused by
pneumatic heating and height changes, transmission ratio and
refractive index should not change significantly with the change of
temperature;
3. Good chemical stability: through infrared window material
exposed to air, should be able to prevent the atmospheric salt
solution or corrosion gas corrosion, and not easy to moisture;
4. High optical transmission rate, must be able to effectively
transmit ultraviolet to medium infrared radiation;
5. Good optical characteristics, small optical scattering and good
uniformity of refractive index;
Meets large window requirements.
