Tungsten Evaporation Boat Manufacturing

MetalsTek tungsten evaporation boats are formed from high-purity tungsten sheet selected for consistent thickness, stable electrical resistance, and reliable performance at elevated temperatures. Vacuum annealing improves formability while helping the finished boat resist warping during repeated heating and cooling cycles.

Available configurations include standard, butterfly, folded, and hemispherical boats in polished or unpolished finishes. Precision laser cutting, waterjet cutting, shearing, bending, and CNC machining allow us to control dimensions and reproduce customer drawings. Custom molybdenum and tungsten-alloy boats are also available for application-specific evaporation rates and service conditions.

Applications of Tungsten Evaporation Boats

Tungsten evaporation boats are widely used as resistive heating sources in vacuum coating and thin-film deposition systems. Typical applications include optical and decorative coatings, semiconductor and electronics manufacturing, capacitor and precision-ceramic sintering, electron-beam evaporation components, ion implantation, sputtering support hardware, X-ray targets and shielding, electrodes, cathodes, anodes, and high-temperature furnace parts. Tungsten’s high melting point, low vapor pressure, and dimensional stability make it suitable for demanding deposition environments.

Inspection and Packaging

Each tungsten boat is inspected, clearly labeled with its product code and specifications, and packed to prevent bending, abrasion, and surface contamination. Protective inner packaging and reinforced outer cartons help safeguard the parts during storage and international transportation. Inspection records and custom packaging are available on request.
