WM0123 Tungsten Boat (High‐purity W Boat)

Tungsten Boat Description

Tungsten boats are manufactured by cutting, bending, welding and riveting tungsten sheets. Tungsten boats are used in the lighting, electronics and military industries. They may also serve as containers for melting rare earth elements.

The tungsten boats, baskets and wires are produced from tungsten. In its pure form, tungsten has the highest melting point (3422 °C), the lowest vapour pressure at temperatures above 1650 °C and the highest tensile strength. Tungsten also possesses the lowest thermal expansion coefficient among pure metals. These quantified properties make tungsten a suitable material for evaporation sources.

Tungsten boats are produced from tungsten sheets by cutting, bending, welding and riveting. We manufacture custom tungsten boats in accordance with your specifications. Applications for tungsten boats include usage in the lighting, electronics and military industries.

Tungsten Boat Applications

1. Vacuum coating: Used as a container for depositing metals by evaporation in vacuum coating processes, such as thin film coating in semiconductor manufacture and optical coating.

2. Thermal evaporation: Employed as a crucible or boat in thermal evaporation processes for depositing thin material layers on substrates in research, electronics and optics sectors.

3. Chemical vapour deposition (CVD): Used as a boat or holder in CVD processes for depositing thin material layers on substrates that are typically utilised in semiconductor manufacture and nanotechnology.

4. High temperature furnaces: Utilised in high temperature furnaces as heating elements or supports because of tungsten’s high melting point and resistance to thermal degradation.

5. Laboratory applications: Employed in laboratories for sample preparation, encapsulation and heating in experiments conducted at high temperatures or under vacuum conditions.

6. Electron beam melting: Used in electron beam melting processes for melting and evaporating metals in additive manufacturing and metallurgical research.

7. Analytical instrumentation: Utilised in instruments such as mass spectrometers and atomic absorption spectrometers for sample introduction and evaporation.
