As a critical component of sapphire crystal growth furnaces, the reflective screen plays a key role in thermal management: it concentrates radiant heat from high-temperature sources through high infrared reflectivity, optimizing the temperature field distribution within the furnace and ensuring a stable temperature gradient at the crystal growth interface, while reducing heat loss to enhance thermal efficiency. This demands excellent high-temperature resistance, thermal shock resistance, and chemical stability from the reflective screen to ensure the uniformity and yield of sapphire crystal growth. Molybdenum sheet, with its high melting point, high infrared reflectivity, low thermal expansion coefficient, and superior chemical stability, is the ideal material for reflective screens.
