Quartz Plug Functions：

A quartz plug is a high-purity fused silica component designed for extreme environments, offering exceptional thermal, chemical, and optical performance. Its key roles include:

1. High-Temperature Sealing & Protection

• Heat Resistance: Withstands 1000°C–1500°C, used in furnaces, reactors, and semiconductor processing to seal openings while preventing heat loss/contamination.

• Thermal Shock Resistance: Low thermal expansion avoids cracking under rapid temperature changes.

2. Chemical Inertness & Corrosion Resistance

• Resists acids, alkalis, and molten metals (except HF), ideal for corrosive chemical or metallurgical applications.

3. Optical Transparency

• UV to IR light transmission, used in viewports for high-temperature observation (e.g., industrial kilns, laser systems).

4. Vacuum & Plasma Environments

• Ultra-low outgassing makes it suitable for vacuum chambers, plasma etching, and semiconductor fabrication equipment.

5. Electrical Insulation

• Non-conductive, used in high-voltage or high-frequency devices to isolate components.

6. Precision Applications

• Semiconductor/LED: Protects sensitive areas during crystal growth (e.g., Czochralski process).

• Research/Labs: Seals experimental setups involving extreme heat or reactive materials.

Advantages Over Alternatives

• Purer than ceramics (no impurities).

• Longer lifespan under thermal cycling vs. glass or metal plugs.

Note: Handle with care (brittle); HF exposure must be avoided. Custom shapes/sizes are common.
