Rotatable sputter targets

Advantages

  • Lower Cost of Ownership thanks to the advantages of rotatable technology (more material inventory, higher utilization grade, better cooling & higher stability)
  • High volume of locally produced targets of all sizes, all shapes and with all existing fixations
  • Wide range of materials available (Al, AZO, Cr, ITO, Mo, Nb, NiCr, High purity Si, SiAl, Sn, Ti, Tiox, TiOx/Nb, Zn (Al), Zn (Sn), custom made alloys, etc.)
  • Different production methods: thermal spraying and extrusion

Rotatable sputter targets are used in PVD processes, for both horizontal and vertical applications.
By combining the rotatable targets with our sputter hardware, an improved value creation model can be achieved (longer production runs, faster coating deposition, higher coating material utilization, etc.).
Custom-made solutions through partnerships with customers are developed to reach the required layer properties and to maximize sputter efficiency (in terms of target utilization and sputter yield).

Situation

Ultra-strong and length-stable material is needed to reinforce synchronous belts which drive wind turbine blades.

Solution

A high-quality steel cord comprised of 83 twisted wires.

Result

Optimum tensile strength, length stability and adhesion with the rubber belt providing the wind turbine manufacturer with a substantially lighter, maintenance-free and space-saving solution.
