Quartz glass plates, as a high-performance new material, have been widely used in various fields due to their unique physical and chemical properties.

So what are the main advantages of quartz glass plates?

1. High temperature resistance

The melting point of quartz glass plates is as high as 1750℃, and it can maintain stable performance at high temperatures for a long time. Its regular use temperature is 1100℃~1200℃, and its short-term use temperature can even reach more than 1400℃. This feature makes quartz glass plates perform excellently in high-temperature environments, such as being used to manufacture observation windows for high-temperature furnaces and high-temperature reaction vessels.

2. Corrosion resistance

Quartz glass plates have excellent corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of various chemical substances. Except for hydrofluoric acid and hot phosphoric acid, it has good acid resistance to general acids, and it does not react with most oxides, metals, non-metals, and gases at conventional temperatures. This characteristic makes quartz glass plates widely used in the chemical industry, such as for the manufacture of corrosion-resistant pipelines and containers.

3. High transparency and optical properties

Quartz glass plates have extremely high transparency and can transmit most light, especially in the continuous wavelength range from ultraviolet to infrared. Their visible light transmittance is above 95%, and the transmittance in the ultraviolet spectral region can also reach more than 80%. This feature makes quartz glass plates widely used in the optical field, such as for the manufacture of optical lenses, prisms, and other optical components, as well as for the optical systems of spacecraft, wind tunnel windows, and spectrophotometers.

4. Low expansion coefficient and thermal stability

The linear expansion coefficient of quartz glass plates is extremely small, which is 1/10 to 1/20 of that of ordinary glass. This makes its size change very small when the temperature changes, and it has excellent thermal stability. Even if quartz glass is heated to high temperature and quickly placed in normal temperature water, it will not burst. This feature makes quartz glass plates widely used in precision instruments and equipment, such as for making high-precision measuring instruments, optical instruments, etc.

5. Good electrical properties

Quartz glass plates have excellent electrical properties, with high resistivity and breakdown voltage, as well as low dielectric loss. Even at high temperatures, it also has good electrical properties. This feature makes quartz glass plates widely used in the electronics industry, such as for the manufacture of high-frequency electronic devices, high-voltage capacitors, etc.

6. High strength and wear resistance

Quartz glass plates have high compressive strength, tensile strength, bending strength, and torsion strength, and excellent wear resistance. This makes it perform excellently in situations where it needs to withstand high pressure and high wear, such as in the manufacture of wear-resistant parts for mechanical equipment.

7. Wide range of application fields

Due to the above-mentioned excellent properties of quartz glass plates, they have been widely used in various fields. In addition to the aforementioned chemical industry, optical field, and electronics industry, quartz glass plates are also used in aerospace, optical communication, new light sources, semiconductor manufacturing, and other high-tech fields. For example, in the semiconductor manufacturing industry, quartz glass plates are used to manufacture key components such as crucibles for growing germanium and silicon single crystals, boat furnace cores, and bell jars.

Quartz glass plates, with their various excellent properties such as high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, high transparency, low expansion coefficient, good electrical properties, and high strength and wear resistance, have shown great application potential and value in many fields.
