Our Nickel Copper (NiCu) Rotary Sputtering Targets deposit functional alloy films by precisely controlling the nickel-to-copper ratio. This enables coatings that combine high conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance, and inherent anti-microbial properties for demanding applications in electronics, marine engineering, and healthcare.

Nickel-copper alloys, notably Monel (Ni-30Cu) types, are renowned for corrosion resistance in seawater, acids, and high temperatures. Sputtered NiCu films provide this durability as a thin, adherent coating, protecting substrates in:
Copper ions are known to disrupt microbial cells. Incorporating copper into a nickel matrix via a NiCu alloy film creates a durable, inherently anti-microbial surface. This is valuable for:
For coating large or multiple components (e.g., architectural fittings, long pipelines, batch medical parts), rotary targets deliver:
We verify the precise Ni:Cu ratio using Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) analysis. Microstructural homogeneity is confirmed via SEM/EDS mapping to ensure a uniform solid solution, which is critical for consistent film performance, especially in corrosion and anti-microbial applications.
