As for the two most commonly used metals for engagement and wedding rings, platinum and gold, most people distinguish them by their different colors-platinum is naturally white, and gold is naturally yellow. However, rings made of white gold (composed of gold, alloys, and a rhodium plating) have a similar white color to platinum rings. Since...Continue Reading
Tantalum Overview The texture of the tantalum is very hard and the hardness can reach 6-6.5. Its melting point is as high as 2996 °C, only after carbon, tungsten, rhenium, and osmium. Tantalum is malleable and can be drawn into a thin foil. Its coefficient of thermal expansion is very small, and it only expands by 6.6 parts...Continue Reading
We have previously made a brief introduction of Five Sputter Coating Technologies, including unbalanced magnetron sputtering, radio frequency sputtering (RF sputtering), direct current magnetron sputtering (DC sputtering), mid-frequency alternating current magnetron sputtering (AC sputtering), and reactive magnetron sputtering. In this article, we are going to talk about direct current (DC) sputtering in detail. To begin...Continue Reading
Sputtering targets have important applications in many areas, such as architecture, optics, electronics and so on. Sputtering targets used in electronic industry can be subdivided into semiconductor target (also called anelva target), planar target, coated glass target, solar photovoltaic target, and so on. There are some differences in the selection and performance requirements of sputtering materials in different application fields....Continue Reading
Sputtering targets are a physical vapor deposition (PVD) mechanism with many uses in modern technology and manufacturing. In the sputtering process, the atoms are pulled from the sputter target with powerful magnets, and a controlled gas (usually argon) is introduced. Then, the processed to collide with each other in their gaseous state before condensing into...Continue Reading
What is PVD Coating Technology? Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is a thin film preparation technique that physically vaporizes the surface of a material source (solid or liquid) into gaseous atoms, molecules, or partially ionized into ions under vacuum conditions. Then, a film having a specific function is deposited on the surface of the substrate by...Continue Reading
Metal titanium and titanium sputtering target are essentially the same, both of which are composed of titanium element; the difference is that metal titanium is more like a raw material, and titanium target is more like a titanium product. Titanium as a raw material can be made into titanium sputtering targets by several methods, and...Continue Reading
If there is a metal that is ignored by us, I think that is scandium. Scandium is found in most rare earth elements and uranium deposits, but it can only be extracted from a few mines around the world. Due to the low availability and difficulty in preparation, which was succeeded in 1937, of scandium,...Continue Reading
The case A well-known industrial glass company—-We attempted to deposit a silver film about one micron thick on the glass substrate using silver evaporation materials by vacuum evaporation. And our existing coating facilities are limited that we can only use electron beam evaporation. We tried Ag / Ti glass in the beginning, but the silver...Continue Reading
