The magnetron sputtering system has been in use for several decades now. Even recently, there have been advancements that have improved the performance of the sputtering system in general. For instance, the closed-field unbalanced magnetron sputtering technique has now been developed so that it can be routinely used to deposit high-quality coatings of an extensive...Continue Reading

Arc Ion Plating is a technological process developed in the United States of America in the 60s. Since then, it has become more widely used and accepted in other parts of the world. Energy from evaporation as well as ionization is incorporated to achieve the goal of arc ion plating. The goal of arc ion...Continue Reading

Magnetron sputtering is one of the most popular methods for sputter deposition. Powerful magnets confine plasma electrons close to the target. It entails depositing material from a source to a substrate via sputtering using a high magnetic and electric field. It is generally used to deposit alloys, metals, and other materials on a substrate. It was first...Continue Reading

Titanium nitride, also known as TiNite or TiN, is a chemical compound that is commonly used in coating objects. Titanium nitride thin film gives the coated object a gold color. It is widely used because it is less expensive than most other compounds with similar chemical properties. There are numerous commercial variants of titanium nitride, but...Continue Reading

White meals are an important category of metals used in various industrial applications, just as alloys are. An old use of white metals is their referencing in the antique trade for describing items suspected of containing silver but not hallmarked. As an example, the term “white metal” is used in the British fine art trade...Continue Reading

Crushing metals into fine particles produces metal powders used in 3D printing. Manufacturers can use powder for 3D printing operations and processes that produce metallic parts. It is also known as additive manufacturing and involves making new parts or products layer-by-layer. The kind of metal powder used and the 3D printing process applied determine the...Continue Reading

In the sputtering process, it is important to protect the sputter targets from damages, and a very good way to achieve this is by subjecting the sputter targets to bonding services. In this post, we’ll dive deeper into the meaning and importance of target bonding services, as well as the different types of target bonding...Continue Reading

3D printing has evolved over the past few years, meaning that several things have changed, particularly, the type of products obtainable at the end of the process. The products of 3D printing are as diverse as the many materials used in printing them. Before 3D printing can be realized, you must send a detailed image...Continue Reading

Jewelry pieces are decorative items such as rings, necklaces, bracelets, and brooches made from special metals and worn for adornment. Pieces of jewelry are made from different kinds of special metals and alloys. A lot of these metals and special alloys have been used over the years. Some of these metals have stood out due...Continue Reading
