FAQs:
Why choose sapphire instead of glass or quartz for through-hole plates?
Sapphire offers superior scratch resistance and stronger mechanical, thermal, and chemical durability, making it ideal for demanding windows and wear parts in harsh environments.
Will the holes in sapphire plates chip easily during assembly?
Proper edge control through chamfering, radius finishing, deburring, and assembly-oriented design significantly reduces chipping risk. We can recommend processing options based on your specific mounting method.
Can optical coatings be applied to custom sapphire through-hole plates?
Yes, we offer various coating options including anti-reflection (AR), reflective, and protective coatings customized by wavelength range and incident angle to match your specific performance requirements.
What customization options are available for these sapphire plates?
We offer custom shapes (round, square, irregular profiles), sizes, thicknesses, hole features (through-holes, counterbores, stepped holes), edge finishing, surface finishes, and optional coatings and markings.
