Synthetic sapphire is known for its high strength. Indeed, only diamond is susceptible to scratch it. Therefore, colourless sapphires are used as scratch-resistant Swiss watch glasses. In order to minimize shard appearance on watches, RSA Le Rubis, French sapphire manufacturer, wishes to improve its product mechanical property knowledge. How fracture strength fluctuates according to elaboration conditions, and the part of structural defects in this.Clockmaking sapphires are mainly grown at R.S.A. by historical Verneuil process or Edge-defined Fed-film Growth (EFG). Several growth conditions are studied in both processes, such as crystals size and position in the oven, or component ageing.Further, two flexural tests have been designed and ma...
