Introduction
Cobalt (Co) Evaporation Materials are widely used in thin film deposition for magnetic, electronic, catalytic, and wear-resistant coatings. Thanks to cobalt’s unique magnetic behavior, thermal stability, and alloying versatility, high-purity cobalt evaporation materials are essential in both research and industrial Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) processes where film consistency and compositional control are critical.
Detailed Description
Cobalt evaporation materials are produced from high-purity cobalt through refined melting, casting, and sizing processes to ensure uniform composition and stable evaporation behavior. They are available in multiple physical forms—such as pellets, granules, shots, or pieces—optimized for different evaporation sources including boats, crucibles, and liners.
Material purity and morphology play a key role in deposition performance. Carefully controlled particle size and surface condition help reduce spitting, improve evaporation rate stability, and ensure uniform film thickness. Cobalt’s relatively high melting point requires well-controlled heating, making these materials suitable for both thermal evaporation and electron-beam (e-beam) evaporation systems.
Customized purity grades and forms can be supplied to support applications ranging from exploratory R&D to repeatable production coating processes.
