[0002] Sapphire glass with excellent mechanical and thermal properties is increasingly applied to watch mirror glass and other optical mirrors, but its high hardness and brittleness make its precision machining in industry particularly difficult, and the machining cost is high, the efficiency is low, and the overall machining effect is not ideal.
