Products Description
Scandium is a soft, silver-white transition metal with a melting point of 1541℃ and a boiling point of 2831℃. Very easy to dissolve in water and can react with hot water. It is often mixed with gadolinium, erbium, etc., with a low yield and a content of about 0.0005% in the crust. Scandium is often used to make special glass, light and high-temperature alloys.
The scandium sputtering target produced by our company is a high-value, high-performance rare earth metal target. Our scandium sputtering target is produced by vacuum melting technology and is mainly used in high-tech fields such as solid-state lasers, aerospace materials, and semiconductor devices.
In sputtering coating technology, scandium targets are widely used in integrated circuits, flat panel displays, decorative coatings and other industries. The shapes of scandium targets include flat targets and special-shaped customizations, with a purity of 99.9% (3N), and the size can be processed or customized according to the drawings.
Besides, scandium sputtering target has been used to make aluminum-scandium alloy, fuel cells, scandium sodium halogen lamps, tracers, laser crystals and other products, In special steel, nonferrous alloys, high performance ceramics, catalysts and other fields have broad application prospects.
Our factory can not only produce high quality scandium sputtering targets for semiconductor and R&D purposes, but also aluminium scandium targets .Please contact us if any need.
