What Is a Sapphire Blade?
A sapphire blade is a specialized cutting tool used in industrial applications.
Manufactured from sapphire material, these blades are utilized in industries requiring precision machining and high wear resistance. Sapphire possesses properties such as high hardness, durability, and chemical inertness. Sapphire blades are manufactured leveraging these properties and are typically employed in precision machining similar to diamond blades. For instance, they are used for cutting and processing wafers in semiconductor manufacturing or for cutting glass and ceramics, where high precision and durability are essential.
There are different types of sapphire blades suited for tasks requiring stability and precision, such as straight blades for tasks demanding stability and accuracy and serrated edges for cutting hard or fibrous materials.
