Sapphire is a remarkable material combining optical clarity, high strength and electrical isolation. With our many years of service, Omley has experience brazing sapphire in all kinds of geometries and for a wide array of applications.
As is the case with all aluminum oxide materials, brazing can be accomplished using either the moly/manganese metalization process or the active brazing process. Each process has its strengths and limitations. Omley brings a wealth of experience with both processes and can make recommendations based on the geometry and process requirements of your project.
Some of the more common applications include:
- Vacuum Viewports
- Protective Optical Shields
- Sapphire-Tipped Process Probes
- CCD Enclosures
- Lamp Housings
- High Pressure Windows
- Sapphire Insulated Feedthroughs
- Sapphire Insulated Line Breaks
