Low-Stress Cutting of Germanium Blanks for Infrared Optics Manufacturing

In infrared optics manufacturing, everything starts with the blank. For materials like germanium, which are brittle and sensitive to stress, how you cut that blank makes a big difference later on. Poor surface finish or internal stress from the first cut can lead to cracks, polishing difficulty, or even rejection in final inspection. That’s why more manufacturers are switching to diamond wire saws when slicing Ge blanks. With the right setup, this method delivers clean surfaces, low kerf loss, and—most importantly—minimal stress inside the material. Why Germanium Blanks Require Gentle Processing Germanium isn’t a hard material by definition, but its low fracture toughness means it doesn’t tolerate force well. Traditional […]

Sapphire Cutting for LED Applications: How to Slice Sapphire Rods with Diamond Wire

Introduction: The Need for Precision in Sapphire Cutting Sapphire rods are essential materials in the LED industry, widely used as substrates for high-performance devices. Due to their exceptional hardness and brittleness, slicing sapphire with high precision and minimal material loss is critical. Among various cutting technologies, diamond wire saws have become the preferred solution for sapphire cutting due to their accuracy, efficiency, and compatibility with brittle materials. Why Diamond Wire Saws Are Ideal for Sapphire Rod Slicing Diamond wire saws use a looped diamond-coated wire to slice hard materials like sapphire. Compared to traditional blade cutting or laser cutting, this method offers several advantages: Key Parameters for Sapphire Cutting with
