Description
Vanadium exhibits a melting point of 1 890 °C which permits stability at elevated temperatures during evaporation. This property ensures a controlled deposition process that produces uniform coatings with defined performance.
Vanadium evaporation materials offer good electrical conductivity. They conduct current effectively during the evaporation process. This quality is critical for applications where the electrical performance of the coating is required.
Vanadium evaporation materials are known for their corrosion resistance. They withstand various chemical exposures without significant degradation, thereby maintaining the durability and longevity of the coatings.
Vanadium evaporation materials exhibit a relatively low vapour pressure, which permits precise control of the evaporation rate and the thickness of the deposited layer. Consequently, the coating parameters are achieved as specified.
