Quartz glass- More about the material and its usages and benefits-

For glass fabrication operations one of the commonly employed materials is the Quartz glass. This substance offers unique properties which make them suitable for usage in the fabricated glass components. The following article post provides an overview of the glass including its composition, advantages and the typical applications. 

More about the material Quartz- 

The Quartz is the naturally occurring crystalline mineral which is comprised of oxygen as well as Silica. It is an abundant mineral on the planet and forms in most of the rock types within the crust of the Earth. When this mineral is converted into a glass then it is found in varied scientific researches and the high-tech operations. Some of the key advantages of using this material include-

  1. At the ultraviolet range, there is good transmission behavior.
  2. In the visible and infrared range the high-temperature endurance is ensured.
  3. The low coefficient of thermal expansion and higher thermal shock resistance is witnessed.
  4. The material is for high chemical purity along with an exceptional electrical insulation.
  5. It is suitable for permanent operation or the short term operation.

Industrial applications of the Quartz glass- Listing of major applications-

  • Chemical, as well as a pharmaceutical procedure- Parts and components made from quartz are ideal for the usage in such environments as these are chemically pure, resistant, non-hygroscopic and much more.
  • Electronics as well as electro-technology- The electronics technology rely on the conductive as well as insulating component. A quart is ideal as construction materials as these offer lower conductivity, low electric loss factor and much more. 
  • Higher processing temperature- The thermal properties of Quartz allow them in withstanding the high processing temperature without any risk of damage/degradation.
  • Light, as well as laser technology- Many of the light-based system i.e. lasers, are dependent on the glass optical components (ones that are made from Quartz) for focusing or separating the light for performing the operations. 
  • Optical system components manufacturing- The fused Quartz is used for the manufacturing of the optical parts like the lenses, mirrors, UV and much more. It also can transmit the light as visible, ultraviolet and the infrared range.
  • Acts as a semiconductor- The Quartz is pure and plays a role as a semiconductor. It even plays a role in varied systems that are used in critical applications.

Quartz has high thermal as well as radiation resistance and is suitable for being used in the equipment that is subjected to such operations.
