Molybdenum Targets: Classification by Shape and Application

In thin film technology, materials need more than just potential—they need consistency, resilience, and performance under pressure. That’s where molybdenum shines. Molybdenum sputtering targets, whether derived from pure metal or alloys, inherit the best of their base: high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and superior thermal and electrical conductivity. These qualities make molybdenum a trusted material...

DFARS Compliance and Non-China Sourcing: What You Need to Know

If you’re supplying materials into U.S. defense contracts—directly or indirectly—DFARS compliance isn’t optional. It’s mandatory. And with rising geopolitical risk and tighter supply chain scrutiny, contractors are under growing pressure to prove their materials don’t originate from restricted sources like China. At Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM), we specialize in providing DFARS-compliant, non-China, and U.S.-sourced materials,...
