Scandium Aluminum (Sc/Al) Evaporation Materials are specifically designed for thin film deposition techniques, such as thermal or electron-beam evaporation. These materials are made by precisely blending aluminum (Al) and scandium (Sc) powders in accurate proportions, which are then compressed into pellets, or shaped into rod or wire forms. When exposed to heat within a vacuum chamber during evaporation, the Sc/Al materials transform from a solid to a vapor phase. The resulting vapor condenses onto a substrate, and forms a thin film with improved properties, such as better electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, or corrosion resistance, thanks to the addition of scandium.
Scandium Evaporation Material is a component that plays a crucial role in thin-film deposition. It is highly valued for its unique properties, which include a lightweight structure, excellent corrosion resistance, and a high melting point of 1,541°C. As a rare earth metal, scandium is used in evaporation processes to create high-performance coatings that enhance various substrates’ electrical, optical, and structural properties. Scandium’s ability to improve the grain refinement of aluminum alloys has significantly impacted the aerospace and defense industries, developing materials with increased strength, heat resistance, and reduced weight. Furthermore, scandium’s application in the evaporation process facilitates the development of advanced ceramics and electronics, offering durability, efficiency, and performance improvements.
