Fused Quartz Curved Plates & Furnace Tube Liners

Fused Quartz Curved Plates & Furnace Tube Liners

Fused quartz curved plates and half-tube liners engineered for high-temperature, high-purity environments in semiconductor tools, chemical processing, and industrial furnaces. Manufactured from high-purity fused silica with smooth, chip-free edges, these parts provide excellent thermal stability, chemical inertness, and precise fit—offering reliable protection, clean flow, and long service life.


What to Provide for a Quote

  • Drawing (PDF/STEP) or key dimensions: inner/outer radius (or tube ID/OD), arc angle (e.g., 90°/120°/180°), length, thickness
  • Geometry: single curved plate, half-tube, quarter cylinder, or segmented liner; overlap or butt joint style
  • End & edge details: square/rounded ends, lips/flanges, tabs, chamfer/bevel; any slots, holes, or windows
  • Interface & fit: mating tube or frame size, target liner-to-wall gap, contact/landing areas, mounting or clamp method
  • Operating conditions: chemistry, maximum temperature and thermal cycling, vacuum/pressure (if any), cleanliness level
  • Critical tolerances: profile/radius accuracy, straightness, parallelism, roundness/runout along the arc
  • Quantity (prototype or batch); requested inspection reports and packaging level

Key Specifications

  • Material: High-purity fused quartz (SiO₂); material certificate available by request
  • Geometry: Curved plates, half-tube liners, quarter-sections, split sleeves, and custom arc segments—monolithic or flame-fused assemblies
  • Dimensions: Per drawing (made-to-order) with uniform wall thickness for thermal stability
  • Edges & Surfaces: Fire-polished rims; ground or polished functional faces; smooth radii to minimize particle generation
  • Optional Features: Relief/vent holes, alignment notches/keys, o-ring grooves or sealing lands, locator tabs
  • Variants: Opaque (OP) quartz available for added thermal shielding; clear fused quartz for visual inspection
  • Cleanliness: Ultrasonic/DI cleaning; Class-100 compatible packaging

Material Properties (Typical)

  • Very low thermal expansion with good thermal-shock tolerance
  • Excellent chemical resistance to most process media (note: HF attacks quartz)
  • Electrically insulating, low outgassing; optically clean where transparency is required

Processing & Design Notes

  • Define whether radius is referenced to the inner or outer surface; keep wall thickness uniform to reduce stress
  • Allow expansion gaps and compliant clamping to avoid stress during thermal cycling
  • Add generous fillets at transitions and deburr all edges to prevent chipping and particle traps
  • For segmented liners, specify joint overlap/spacing and any anti-rotation features
  • We can advise feasible tolerances for radius/profile, flatness/straightness, and runout based on size and geometry

Inspection & Testing

  • Dimensional verification: radius/arc angle/length/thickness; profile tolerance along the arc; hole/slot positions
  • Flatness/straightness checks on reference lands; roundness/runout relative to datum
  • 100% visual inspection for chips, micro-cracks, inclusions, and contamination
  • Optional: birefringence/stress evaluation and cleanliness report

Applications

Furnace tube liners and split sleeves, thermal shields and splash guards, protective baffles, curved windows or guides for high-purity, high-temperature processes (diffusion/oxidation/CVD, wet benches, and lab furnaces)

Packaging & Storage

Edge guards and curved separators; anti-static, vacuum-sealed packaging with rigid outer protection. Store dry (<40% RH) at 10–30 °C; keep away from HF-containing chemicals.

Notes
Custom configurations (hole patterns, coatings, or additional markings) available upon request.
Compliance certificates (RoHS, ISO 9001) provided with bulk orders.
