Request Now !Corundum, an aluminum oxide, is one of the hardest minerals known immediately after diamond. You can make artificial corundum as a special item. Slow and controlled growth in the oxyhydrogen torch, also known as the Verneuil method, can produce it. It is also a rock mineral. Corundum is used in the polishing of optical glass and metal, as well as in the production of sandpaper and grindstones. Corundum can scratch most other minerals due to its hardness (pure corundum is defined as having a Mohs hardness of 9.0). It is widely used as an abrasive in a variety of products ranging from sandpaper to large tools used in metal, plastic, and wood machining. Some emery is a combination of corundum and other materials, and the mixture is less abrasive, with an average Mohs hardness of 8.0. Corundum has an unusually high density of 4.02 g/cm3 (251 lb/cu ft.) for a transparent mineral composed of the low-atomic mass elements aluminum and oxygen, in addition to its hardness. The two most common corundum gem varieties are ruby and sapphire. Rubies are red due to the presence of chromium, and sapphires can be a variety of colors depending on which transition metal is present. Padparadscha sapphire is an extremely rare pink-orange sapphire.

Top Impacting factors
Corundum is widely used scratch resistant windows for electronic instruments, wafers for circuit boards, and so on due to its durability and scratch resistance properties. Furthermore, alumina is one of the most widely used substrates for the growth of thin metal, semiconductor, and insulator films in basic and microelectronic research. Corundum usage is increasing rapidly in the field of electronics, and the increasing applications of corundum in electronic devices is driving market growth. The cut of sapphires and rubies is not as important as that of diamonds in displaying the stone's vibrancy, which is one of the major restraints of the corundum market. If the corundum is not properly zoned, it suffers from zoning. It would eventually lose its luster, making it dull. Corundum is a capital-intensive industry. Corundum also necessitates polishing. As a result, new technologies and innovations are emerging to improve corundum quality while lowering its costs.
