CHROMIUM TARGET

A chromium target is a high-purity piece of chromium used in the sputtering process, a key technique in physical vapor deposition (PVD) for coating surfaces with thin films of chromium. Chromium targets are essential in various industrial and technological applications due to chromium’s unique properties, including high corrosion resistance, excellent hardness, and a shiny, aesthetically pleasing finish. These characteristics make chromium-coated products highly sought after in the automotive, electronics, decorative, and protective coating industries.

TYPES OF CHROMIUM TARGET

Chromium Target

Chromium sputtering targets play a vital role in the deposition of chromium thin films across a wide range of applications. The unique combination of hardness, corrosion resistance, and decorative appeal of chromium makes it an invaluable material in enhancing the durability, functionality, and aesthetic quality of coated products.

PROPERTIES OF CHROMIUM TARGETS

High Purity: Chromium targets are typically manufactured to be of high purity (often 99.9% or higher) to ensure the quality of the deposited thin films and to minimize the inclusion of impurities that could affect the film’s properties.

Corrosion Resistance: Chromium is highly resistant to tarnishing and corrosion, making it ideal for protective coatings in harsh environments.

Hardness and Wear Resistance: Chromium has a high hardness level, which contributes to the wear resistance of the coated surface, extending the life of tools, parts, and components.

Decorative Appeal: The bright, reflective surface of chromium coatings is highly valued for decorative applications, providing an attractive finish that is both durable and resistant to corrosion.
