Quartz (Fused Silica) CNC Machining Services

Quartz, commonly referred to as Fused Silica, is a non-crystalline, high-purity form of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) known for its exceptional thermal shock resistance, optical transparency, and chemical durability. We provide high-precision CNC machining of quartz components used in semiconductor, optics, laser, and high-temperature environments.

Material Properties & Advantages

What is Quartz (Fused Silica)?

Fused Silica is a vitreous form of silica produced by melting high-purity sand or synthetic precursors. It combines the thermal stability of ceramics with the optical clarity of glass, making it ideal for UV to IR applications, and for harsh chemical or vacuum environments where purity and stability are critical.

Key Advantages of Quartz:

Exceptional Thermal Shock Resistance
– Tolerates rapid temperature changes without cracking
High Purity
– Ideal for semiconductor and optical-grade applications
Excellent Chemical Resistance
– Inert to acids (except HF), solvents, and plasma environments
High Compressive Strength
– Supports structural integrity under vacuum or thermal stress
Low Thermal Expansion
– ~0.55 × 10⁻⁶ /K minimizes distortion across temperature swings
