Zerodur Glass Ceramic
Glass ceramic, also known as glass ceramic, is a type of polycrystalline solid material containing a large amount of microcrystalline and glass phases, which is made by controlling the crystallization of a specific composition of basic glass during the heating process. It has superior properties such as high mechanical strength, adjustable thermal expansion performance, heat resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and low dielectric loss, and is widely used in fields such as mechanical manufacturing, optics, electronics and microelectronics, aerospace, chemistry, industry, biomedicine, and construction.
Typical Applications
• Ultra-precision optics
• Mirror substrates for large astronomical telescopes
• Substrates for X-ray telescopes
• Ring laser gyroscope applications
• Optical elements for comet probes
• Flat optics and optical flats
• Space technology
• Low expansion laser optics
• Glass standards for precision measurement technology
• Mechanical laser resonator components
• Components and holders for fiber optics
