Sapphire Balls
Sapphire Balls are high-precision components made from 99.99% pure aluminum oxide (Al2O3). Known for their exceptional clarity, these balls are transparent and colorless, making them ideal for applications requiring high optical transparency.
Sapphire balls are an anisotropic crystal with a hexagonal structure, and they are composed of unicrystalline alpha aluminum oxide, making them extremely durable and resistant to wear. Essentially 100% pure, these materials have excellent mechanical and optical properties, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
Hardness: Sapphire has a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, making it second only to diamond, and is highly resistant to scratching.
Clarity: The transparent and colorless nature of sapphire balls makes them perfect for optical applications.
Durability: These balls are highly resistant to wear, corrosion, and extreme temperatures, ensuring long-lasting performance.
