In thin film technology, materials need more than just potential—they need consistency, resilience, and performance under pressure. That’s where molybdenum shines. Molybdenum sputtering targets, whether derived from pure metal or alloys, inherit the best of their base: high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and superior thermal and electrical conductivity. These qualities make molybdenum a trusted material...Continue Reading

Aluminum is everywhere. Cars, foil, power lines, window frames — you name it. It’s lightweight, tough, and incredibly versatile. It makes up around 8% of the Earth’s crust, which makes it the most abundant metal out there. Pretty impressive for a material we barely notice, right? This silvery element sits at number 13 on the...Continue Reading

White meals are an important category of metals used in various industrial applications, just as alloys are. An old use of white metals is their referencing in the antique trade for describing items suspected of containing silver but not hallmarked. As an example, the term “white metal” is used in the British fine art trade...Continue Reading

Titanium can be alloyed with iron, aluminum, vanadium, and molybdenum to produce strong, lightweight alloys for aerospace (jet engines, missiles, and spacecraft), military, industrial processes (chemicals and petrochemicals, desalination plants, pulp, and paper), automotive, marine, human implants, and other applications. In addition to low density and high specific strength, another important advantage of titanium alloy...Continue Reading
