Whereas, a crystalline material may contain the exact same type and quantity of atoms as glass, but the atoms are ordered in rigid, well-defined patterns. Fused quartz glass vs. crystalline quartz is a good example of the same type of atoms (SiO2) structured in such a way that one orientation forms a glass and another forms a crystal. - **Image:** https://mcdanelmaterials.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/transmission-curves-2014.jpg - **Modified:** 2024-08-06 ##### GLASS VS CRYSTALINE MATERIALS? Glass is an amorphous solid which means its atoms are randomly oriented. Whereas, a crystalline material may contain the exact same type and quantity of atoms as glass, but the atoms are ordered in rigid, well-defined patterns. Fused quartz glass vs. crystalline quartz is a good example of the same type of atoms (SiO2) structured in such a way that one orientation forms a glass and another forms a crystal. Crystalline materials are solid and keep their shape until they reach a very specific temperature, at which time they become fluid. In contrast, all glasses, by definition, are always a fluid. The viscosity of glass is determined by the temperature of the glass; even at room temperature glass is moving, albeit very slowly. When product tolerances are very tight and temperatures are elevated, a crystalline material is superior to glass because it will maintain its shape at any temperature below the melting point. Conversely, glass will change shape over time, regardless of the melting point and especially at elevated temperatures. Both crystalline solids and glasses are normally colorless in the pure state. Impurities are actually what give sapphire and glass their color. The impurities also change the mechanical, thermal, and optical properties of both material types, especially for glass. ##### SAPPHIRE Sapphire is a single crystal – Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3) – which is colorless and optically clear. Synthetic sapphire is grown in boules (bulk pieces) no larger than 300mm in diameter. It can also be grown into shapes such as sheets, ribbons, domes and tubes with very smooth surface qualities, high purity and optical translucence. When used “as grown” there is very little need for grinding and polishing. ###### WHY SAPPHIRE? - Mechanically second only to diamond. One of the hardest and most scratch resistant materials available. The high modulus of elasticity and high tensile strength make it extremely wear, abrasion and impact resistant. - Colorless optical characteristics are superior to any standard glass, with up to a 98.5% transmission and a transmission window from 190 nanometers in the UV to 5 microns in the IR. - No solarization in high-radiation systems. - High dielectric constant and low loss tangent makes it a great electrical insulator and low loss long wavelength window. - Thermally very stable. Does not lose any of its mechanical and optical qualities from cryogenic to over 2000C. - Thermal conductivity greater than other optical materials and most dielectrics. - No surface damage and devitrification due to extreme thermal cycling Does not sag or slump at very elevated temperatures. - Highly corrosion resistant. More resistant to corrosive chemicals than most standard hard materials available. ###### WHY NOT SAPPHIRE? - Cost of material. Sapphire often costs more than other refractory materials. But not always! Quantity and geometry play a major role in the cost of the final product, especially with smaller products where the labor is the primary cost. - Cannot be bent, molded, drawn or melt-fused like glasses and metals. Sapphire can only be ground and mechanically polished. - Size limitations. The maximum size of a sapphire product cannot exceed the largest boule that can be grown. Therefore, maximum part size cannot exceed 300mm for two of the dimensions. - Larger pieces can be thermally shocked and broken if not heated uniformly. ## Pages ### Home (new) - **URL:** https://mcdanelmaterials.com/ - **Modified:** 2026-09-18 ![](https://mcdanelmaterials.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/hader-bg-homepage.jpg) HIGH PURITY.

Generally, the higher the grade the better the transmission in the UV and IR, and the less light scatter and lattice distortion. The best grades, in particular, UV grade will not solarize. **Verneuil**—Original & simplest growth method, lowest cost, excellent for mechanical applications & situations where optical clarity is not critical. Good for lower quality watch crystals & observation ports **EFG (Stepanov)**—Edge defined growth method (to be exact, Edge-Defined Film-Fed Growth) for near net growth of tubes & large sheets. Better quality than Verneuil, but not as pure & defect free as Kyropoulos or CZ. Excellent for most window applications including scanner windows & viewports and lower cost than Kyropoulos & HEM **Kyropoulos & CZ**—Excellent optical properties, ideal method for most optical applications except long exposure high UV & extreme power threshold requirements. Also preferred for high purity applications like semiconductor, LED fabrication & high purity chemistry **HEM**—The best quality sapphire, but difficult to acquire & considerably more costly compared to other grades. Quality compared to Kyropoulos usually not significant enough to justify cost for most applications. Best for extreme power & UV applications & for when zero fluorescence &/or high-power threshold is required ##### Typical Uses - High temperature and chemical resistant windows - Components for plasma processing systems - Use in UV and IR lamps 001 ###### Data Sheets & SDS [Sapphire Reference Table](https://test-mc-danel-advanced-materials.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Sapphire-Reference-Table.pdf) [Sapphire Orientation Definitions & Drawing](https://test-mc-danel-advanced-materials.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Orientation-Definitions-and-Drawing.pdf) [Sapphire Properties: Thermal, Electrical and Optical](https://test-mc-danel-advanced-materials.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Sapphire-Optical-and-Thermal-Properties-Graph.pdf) [Sapphire Surface Finishes](https://test-mc-danel-advanced-materials.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Sapphire-Surface-Finishes.pdf) [Sapphire Quality Definitions](https://test-mc-danel-advanced-materials.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Sapphire-Quality-Definitions.pdf) McDANEL SERVICES #### We are here to collaborate with your team --- ### Glass - **URL:** https://mcdanelmaterials.com/glass/ - **Description:** MATERIALS Glass McDANEL OPTICS Purity Talk to one of our representatives today to discuss your glass needs.

Sustainability . Accountability & Trust . #### The McDanel Story **McDanel Advanced Ceramic Technologies** (MACT) continues to prosper during a fourth distinct period of ownership in its 104-year history. ###### Highlights - The first period spanned 70 years from the establishment of the company as **McDanel Refractory ****Porcelain Company** (MRPC) in 1919 until its acquisition by Vesuvius (part of British company Cookson Group plc) in July 1989. During that first period it was privately owned by three successive generations of the **McDanel** family. - The second period, as **Vesuvius McDanel**, lasted almost exactly 16 years i.e. from July 1989 until June 2005. From June of 2005 until September of 2022 i.e., 17+ years, the company operated as **McDanel ****Advanced Ceramic Technologies** (MACT) under the principal ownership of Mr. Roberto Grosso who, interestingly, was the president of Vesuvius at the time the company was acquired by them in 1989. - **Artemis Capital Partners** acquired the company in September 2022. - **McDanel acquires Rayotek Scientific,** the industry leader for single-source glass and sapphire solutions. ![McDanel Brochure](https://mcdanelceramics.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/mcdanel-brochure-80s-1024x1024.jpg) ![McDanel Brochure](https://mcdanelceramics.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/mcdanel-brochure-black-1024x1024.jpg) ##### McDanel Refractory Porcelain Company (MRPC) 1919-1989 **During the first world war,** the National Bureau of Standards (NBS ) operated a ‘field laboratory’ in Pittsburgh and activities there included developing processes and even operating production facilities for providing products which had become difficult or even impossible to obtain because of the war. One of those products was ceramic thermocouple protection tubing which had formerly been imported from Germany. The mold maker who worked on the project at the NBS in Pittsburgh was a McDanel and after the war ended he was encouraged to set up his own business to manufacture these products in Beaver Falls PA and the McDanel Refractory Porcelain Company came into being. Over the years the MRPC expanded its materials offerings and its products from small thermocouple protection sheaths (TCSs) and insulators to crucibles, laboratory ware, large furnace tubes etc. The last McDanel family member to own the company was the first college-educated ceramic engineer. He had the foresight to hire several fellow ceramic engineers as president and as research/process engineers which ushered in a period of expansion, not only as a result of increased sales of mullite and high-alumina ceramic products but also the introduction of new materials and products such as re-bonded fused silica for steel pouring nozzles and rollers for roller hearth furnaces in the glass industry and stabilized zirconia for use in industrial oxygen sensors. It is worth mentioning that at the time of the purchase of McDanel by Vesuvius in 1989, with the exception of small-diameter extruded insulators for use in thermocouples/sensors and a small number of iso-pressed alumina tubes for specialist applications, all McDanel products were manufactured by slip-casting. This is despite the fact that the company had been very early investigators into diverse activities such as the use of alumina ceramics as dental implants (by injection molding) and carbon filters for smokeless cigarettes (by extrusion). However, as a small, family owned business they were extremely risk averse and decided not to diversify into either product, which in hindsight was probably a smart move since in both cases it took much larger companies a decade or more to develop products worthy of commercialization. ##### Vesuvius McDanel 1989-2005 **The acquisition of McDanel by Vesuvius** in 1989 made perfect strategic sense. At that time Vesuvius was expanding its global fused silica market share and McDanel was significant competitor for such products in North America. In addition, Vesuvius and parent company Cookson Group had already made a strategic decision to enter the technical ceramics market and during the previous year had acquired a small company in the UK from Coorstek. The acquisition of McDanel not only brought market share, manufacturing capacity and know-how to bear on Vesuvius’ North American fused silica... --- ### Aviation - **URL:** https://mcdanelmaterials.com/aerospace/ - **Description:** MARKETS Aviation SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE For High Impact Engine & OPTICAL Applications Maximum reliability, safety, and... - **Modified:** 2024-11-11 MARKETS ### Aviation SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE #### For High Impact Engine & OPTICAL Applications Maximum reliability, safety, and performance Turbine blades and cockpit windows can’t fail.

McDanel Customer We value working with McDanel because we both hold high values of collaboration and moral duty to facilitate a win-win relationship. McDanel understands their products are critical components to ours. Authentic interest in our company's well-being is conveyed which is largely not found in today's supply chain. McDanel Customer McDanel has helped our company solve the challenge of partnering with a ceramics industry supplier that can provide reliable and repeatable products. McDanel has worked in collaboration with our team over the years to hold tight tolerances and back their products if issues arise. McDanel Customer The quality at McDanel is better than other companies and customer satisfaction is very high. Additionally, we can rely on McDanel to respond promptly to our detailed needs.

Even if we could save money with another supplier, we wouldn't switch. We are not cost sensitive, we are quality sensitive. Allen T. McDanel Customer I love the variety of what we do. We start with something raw and make it remarkable. I love this because the ideation goes from beginning to end.
