Abstract

Verneuil method uses oxyhydrogen flame for its heat source. This method was used to grow corundum monocrystals. Parametersof this method are feeding rate, gas pressure, lowering rate and growth axis. These parameters were examined. Crystals's qualities and shapes are affected by these parameters. Crystals having good qualities and shape were grown under the conditions that feeding rate, 0.2∼0.5g/min, lowering rate, 10∼20mm/hr ; gas pressure, 3∼4psi ; growth axis was shifted 60 degrees from c axis.
