Ibhola yeSapphire/Ruby yenziwe ngekristale eyodwa eyenziwe ngesafire/irubhi.I-Synthetic Ruby ibonisa umbala wayo obomvu kwiitrayisi zechromium oxide (ubumdaka obuqhelekileyo bechromium yeebhola zerubhi bungaphantsi kwe-0.5%).Ngelixa isafire emhlophe kunye nerubhi zineempawu ezifanayo zomzimba kunye neekhemikhali, iipropathi zazo ezibonakalayo zinokwahluka kancinci, iiRuby Balls zibonwa lula kwaye ke kulula ukuzibamba kwizicelo zomzimba.Yenziwe ngerubhi kunye neempawu zokuxhathisa umhlwa, ukuxhathisa kwe-abrasion kunye nokuhanjiswa kokukhanya okulungileyo.Isoloko isetyenziswa kwiimitha zokuqukuqela kulwelo okanye iigesi ezisetyenziswa kwindawo ezonakalisa kakhulu.Iivalvu zebhola, iiplagi zezixhobo zonxibelelwano lwefiber optical, kunye nezixhobo zokufunda eziziikhowudi ezinomgca.Intloko yokulinganisa ibhola ye-ruby ingasetyenziselwa iintloko zokulinganisa ukunxiba kunye ne-insulating yezixhobo zokulinganisa kunye nezixhobo zokulinganisa ngokuchanekileyo.
Kwesinye isicelo.Ibhola yeSapphire (I-Transparent) isoloko isetyenziswa njengeelensi zebhola ukugxila kunye nokungqubana kokukhanya ngokuchanekileyo.ISapphire ineempawu eziphezulu zokuhanjiswa kwe-optical.Inomjikelo ophantsi kakhulu we-spherical, phantsi komkhala ofanayo, ukujika kwebhola yesafire ngama-23% kuphela xa kuthelekiswa ne-BK7 Convex lens.Zinoqoqosho kwaye kulula ukukhwela ngokuchaneka okuphezulu kakhulu.ISapphire inokudlulisa i-spectrum ukusuka kwi-200nm ukuya kwi-5.3μm ngokuqina okugqwesileyo, amandla kunye nokumelana nobushushu, ivumele ukuba isetyenziswe kwiimeko ezinzima zokusebenza.Olunye usetyenziso olusetyenziswa ngokubanzi lwebhola yesafire ngundoqo wevalve yemitha yamanzi kunye nenkqubo echanekileyo yokulawula ukuhamba.Ngenxa yokunganyangeki kwe-corrosion kunye nokumelana nokunxiba kwesafire, kudityaniswa nokuchaneka okuphezulu, ibhola yesafire isenokusetyenziswa iminyaka kunye neenyanga.Gcina ukuchaneka kunye nokuqina
