Anisotropic single crystal materials exhibit some properties such as thermal expansion and hardness which vary significantly by orientation. For most applications this is unimportant, however it should be considered. Since 1947, Insaco has had experience with this material and we can provide considerable insight as to how orientation might affect your application.
Sapphire is an anisotropic, rhombohedral crystal form of Aluminum Oxide.
