Molybdenum Boat

Molybdenum Crucibles and Molybdenum Boats are crucial in various high-temperature applications, especially in thin film deposition and evaporation processes.
Molybdenum Boats exhibit properties inherited from their source material, whether pure or molybdenum or alloy. Crafted from processed molybdenum plates subjected to cutting, folding, riveting, and welding, these boats offer versatile customization options, such as square, rectangular, round, trapezoidal, and more, catering to customer specifications.
The suitability of Molybdenum Boats for evaporation materials arises from molybdenum’s exceptional tolerance to low and high temperatures, a feature not shared by many other elements. This resilience makes them particularly effective for use as boats in furnace machines. Beyond evaporation applications, molybdenum boats find utility in diverse sectors, including the rare earth industry, nuclear fuel sintering, and capacitor-discharged sintering.
