Zirconium is a lustrous, silvery-white transition metal known for its strength and corrosion resistance, closely related to hafnium and titanium in the periodic table. It is widely used as a refractory metal and opacifier, with limited but valuable applications as an alloying element due to its outstanding resistance to corrosion in aggressive environments.<\/p>\n<p>Zirconium forms various inorganic and organometallic compounds, including zirconium dioxide (ZrO\u2082) and zirconocene dichloride, which contribute to its versatility. Among the five natural isotopes of zirconium, three are stable. Notably, zirconium compounds have no known biological function, emphasizing their industrial and technological importance.<\/p>\n<p>These properties make Zirconium sputtering targets an ideal choice for thin film and coating applications in high-tech industries such as electronics, optics, and advanced materials science.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Zirconium Sputtering Target Specification<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Property<\/th>\n<th>Details<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Material Type<\/td>\n<td>Zirconium<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Chemical Symbol<\/td>\n<td>Zr<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Melting Point<\/td>\n<td>1,852 \u00b0C<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Appearance<\/td>\n<td>Silvery White, Metallic<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Theoretical Density<\/td>\n<td>6.49 g\/cc<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sputtering Method<\/td>\n<td>DC<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bonding Type<\/td>\n<td>Indium, Elastomer<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Comments<\/td>\n<td>Easily oxidizes in film form; alloys well with tungsten (W)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Available Sizes<\/td>\n<td>Diameter: 1.0\u2033, 2.0\u2033, 3.0\u2033, 4.0\u2033, 5.0\u2033, 6.0\u2033 Thickness: 0.125\u2033, 0.250\u2033<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Customization<\/td>\n<td>Custom shapes and sizes available upon request<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>For custom requirements, please contact MetalsTek directly to discuss specific dimensions and bonding needs.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Applications of Zirconium Sputtering Targets<\/h2>\n<p>Zirconium sputtering targets are extensively used in the fabrication of thin films for a broad range of cutting-edge applications, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Thin film deposition in electronics and semiconductor devices<\/li>\n<li>Fuel cells<\/li>\n<li>Decorative coatings<\/li>\n<li>Display technologies and LEDs<\/li>\n<li>Photovoltaic (solar) devices<\/li>\n<li>Functional and protective optical coatings<\/li>\n<li>Glass coatings for automotive and architectural applications<\/li>\n<li>Optical communication systems<\/li>\n<li>High-performance coatings in materials science research<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, zirconium metal is critical in nuclear reactor technology for fuel cladding due to its low neutron absorption, as well as in chemical industries because of its excellent corrosion resistance in harsh acid, alkali, and seawater environments.
