How flexable are they?

What diameter of fiber do you make and what's the tolerance/repeatability.

Do you know if you have a crystaline or glassy molecular structure? Sometimes quenching normally crystaline substances make them glassy.

Al2O3 is a very hard substance to be sure but if it fractures when wraped it's not going to help you much.

- Perhaps you could do the same with Berylium Oxide? - Philip Simon - 5/1/2004 12:47:55 AM
  - The same method MIGHT work for Berylium Oxide. I don't know. - David F Mayer - 5/2/2004 2:09:14 AM
  - Perhaps you should look up the health effects of beryllium... - R.L. - 5/1/2004 6:06:44 PM

  - Quite flexible if made thin enough. - David F Mayer - 4/30/2004 10:04:02 PM
- You got my attention. - Jacob Samorodin - 4/30/2004 5:10:50 PM
