Insaco, Inc.
NASA application of machined fused silica Materials change proves winner for NASA. Problem: Deep space-based research by NASA called for a high energy solar concentrator that could focus from 3.5" to a faceted point over a 12" length. Designers had initially tried sapphire as the material best suited to this application. However, it failed under Beta tests so NASA turned to a fused silica material but needed precise machining to ensure accuracy. Solution: NASA turned to Insaco. With over 55 years experience in diamond grinding... (read more)Browse Ultra-hard Materials Machining Datasheets for Insaco, Inc. -
