Key Features of Chromium Fluoride Evaporation Materials
-
Chemical Composition: Chromium fluoride (CrF3) is composed of chromium (Cr) and fluorine (F) and forms a green crystalline solid.
-
Sublimation Temperature: CrF3 sublimates at 1 100 °C (2 010 °F; 1 370 K) and transitions directly from a solid to a vapour during thermal evaporation.
-
Density: The density of chromium fluoride depends on its hydration level. It is 3.8 g/cm³ for the anhydrous form and 2.2 g/cm³ for the trihydrate form.
Applications of Chromium Fluoride Evaporation Materials
1. Optical Coatings: Chromium fluoride thin films are used in optical coatings for lenses, mirrors and other optical components. Its properties enable control of light transmission and reflection.
2. Wear-resistant Coatings: Due to its hardness and durability, chromium fluoride is employed as a wear-resistant coating in industrial applications.
3. Electroplated Coatings: Chromium fluoride is utilised in electroplating processes to increase corrosion resistance and to modify the appearance of metal surfaces.
Utilise the potential of chromium fluoride evaporation materials and apply their properties in industrial applications.
