Abstract
Refractory oxide materials, for example, Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 (sapphire) and Al.sub.2 MgO.sub.4 (spinel) can be shaped to precise dimensions by using a preformed member having a higher melting temperature than the oxide in the outline of the desired shape placed in contact with the refractory oxide and subjecting the combination to a temperature between 1500.degree. C. and the melting temperature of the oxide in the presence of a forming gas atmosphere containing an inert gas and approximately 15% hydrogen. The refractory oxide is etched over the area of contact.
