Application of Aluminum Scandium alloy sputtering target

Aluminum sputtering targets are used in many industries because they are cheap and have good electrical and thermal conductivity. However, the aluminum film is not strong, easy to wear, and has a short service life. Adding a certain amount of scandium to aluminum alloy can greatly improve the strength, hardness, weldability and corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy.

Aluminum-scandium sputtering targets are superior to other aerospace alloys such as aluminum-magnesium and aluminum-lithium alloys in terms of low density and high strength performance. aluminum-scandium sputtering targets have been used for aircraft bulkhead coatings, wing coatings, various rotating and moving gears, and fuel and exhaust systems. Aluminum-scandium alloy products have great potential in the aerospace industry.

Aluminum-scandium alloys are commonly used in electronics housings due to their outstanding characteristics of low density but high strength. In addition, the use of aluminum-scandium targets to coat the surface of other materials improves the durability and longevity of housings. In addition to electronic housings, aluminum-scandium alloy sputtering targets are also used for internal components such as coating semiconductor chips and sensors.
