Composition: Al₂O₃ /Cr₂O₃ /Si₂O₃ Form: Bar Material: Ruby CAS Number: 1344-28-1 Commodity: Ceramics Side Length: 2mm Side Length (Of Longer Side): 2mm Length: 12mm
Ruby Bar provides extreme hardness, wear resistance, and optical transparency in a rigid elongated form suitable for structural and optical applications. Composed primarily of aluminum oxide doped with chromium, ruby exhibits excellent scratch resistance and thermal stability. The bar geometry allows for use in precision alignment rods, mechanical wear guides, and high-durability optical mounts. Industries employ ruby bars in high-precision metrology tools, laser component assemblies, and jewel bearings for instrumentation. Research applications include optical calibration systems, studies on high-temperature mechanical stability of crystalline materials, and the development of abrasion-resistant components. The combination of ruby’s crystalline properties and the bar form’s mechanical robustness ensures performance in demanding engineering and scientific environments.
