CM4065 Sapphire Boat

Sapphire Boat Descriptions

Sapphire is a transparent single crystalline aluminium oxide material that exhibits excellent chemical stability along with exceptional mechanical, thermal, and optical properties. As a raw material, its performance significantly exceeds that of glass, quartz, and other mass-produced transparent materials.

Sapphire Boat FAQs

Q1: What is a Sapphire Boat?

A Sapphire Boat is a container made from synthetic sapphire (aluminium oxide, Al₂O₃) designed to hold materials during high-temperature processes. Its form resembles a small tray or boat and is engineered to withstand extreme temperatures and harsh chemical environments.

Q2: How should Sapphire Boats be cleaned and maintained?

Cleaning: Use non-abrasive cleaning agents and solvents that are compatible with sapphire. For thorough cleaning, ultrasonic cleaning may be employed.

Maintenance: Regularly inspect for signs of wear or contamination. Store in a clean, dry environment to avoid dust and other impurities.

Handling: Handle with care to avoid mechanical damage. Use gloves to prevent fingerprints and other contaminants.

Q3: What precautions should be taken when using Sapphire Boats?

Handling: Avoid dropping boats and prevent impacts, as sapphire, while strong, is still brittle and may fracture under mechanical stress.

Temperature Fluctuations: Minimise rapid temperature changes to prevent thermal shock, which may lead to cracks.
