Description
Cobalt Iron (Co/Fe) Evaporation Materials feature a range of defined properties that render them applicable for several thin film deposition applications. These materials, primarily composed of cobalt and iron, have a high melting point, which ensures consistent evaporation during the deposition process. In addition, they exhibit reliable adhesion to substrates, resulting in durable coatings. The cobalt-iron alloy offers corrosion resistance, protecting the coated surfaces from environmental exposure. Furthermore, Cobalt Iron Evaporation Materials permit precise control over the composition and thickness of the deposited layers. This control ensures reproducibility and uniformity of the final product. These defined properties, along with their biocompatibility and mechanical strength, make Cobalt Iron Evaporation Materials suitable for applications in medicine, aerospace and industrial sectors.
