Key Highlights Ultra-purity aluminum is a highly-refined type of aluminum that boasts exceptional thermal and electrical conductivity, making it ideal for use in many industry applications. The purity of this form of aluminum exceeds those obtained via classical aluminum production processes, making it suitable for high-technology fields such as semiconductors, electronics, and superconducting. Various methods (including electrolysis, vacuum distillation, organic electrolysis, and segregation processes) produce high-purity aluminum. High-purity aluminum is desirable for its excellent corrosion resistance and electric insulation properties. The applications of ultra pure aluminum range from replacing copper and gold as bonding wires in integrated circuits for transistors to the stabilization of superconductors operating at cryogenic temperatures as low as -269 degrees Celsius. Introduction Aluminum is...
Aluminum is one of the most versatile and widely used metals in the world. From construction to aerospace industries, it has made a significant contribution to modernization. But have you ever wondered what makes different grades of aluminum unique? In this blog, we will dive deeper into the concept of aluminum purity levels and what they mean for various industries. We will also discuss the characteristics of high purity aluminum, common levels of aluminum purity, and how each level is achieved. Lastly, we will explore the utility of different purity levels in various industries such as aerospace, construction, heavy equipment manufacturing, and semiconductor production equipment. Join us as we uncover all there is to know about different aluminum purity levels....
Aluminum sputtering targets are used extensively in the aerospace, automotive lighting, and optical industries due to their excellent electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and reflective properties. A good understanding of aluminum sputtering target manufacturing processes and specifications is essential for quality assurance and efficiency in applications. With cleaner production methods and careful selection, it is possible to procure high-quality, pure aluminum sputtering targets, which enhance the overall performance of the thin films they help create. You must consider several factors when buying aluminum sputtering targets, including grain size, purity, and price. The semiconductor industry uses aluminum sputtering targets to create conductive layers in chips and circuitry. Sputtering targets provide a way to apply a thin material layer onto a substrate —...
In order to maintain purity and prevent contamination during processing, our 5N and purer grades are processed in directional solidification in vacuum which strictly maintains the cleanliness of the resulting purity metal without any risk of contamination. We can supply 5N (99.999%), 5N5 (99.9995%), 6N (99.9999%), and 6N5 (99.99995%) MBE grade, as well as related alloys from this process in a variety of shapes and sizes. When the 4N Purity is upgrading to 5N and higher purities, the initial shape produced is rod, either in 150 or 180 mm diameters, although for larger orders, we can supply 310 and 480 mm diameters as well. All other products, such as disks, foil, pellets, plate, rod, sheet, and slabs would be further processed from this...
