Tungsten layers are components of the thin-film transistors used in TFT-LCD screens. They are used wherever large screen formats, particularly high image definition and optimized contrasts are needed. But tungsten is also used as a diffusion barrier and a conductive connector in the microelectronics industry. Using the world's largest hot rolling mill for refractory metals, Plansee is able to produce the largest tungsten sputtering target on earth. The benefit to you of large formats: The coating process is more stable and the deposited layers are of higher quality. Thanks to the special forming processes Plansee's tungsten sputtering targets have a density of almost 100 %. As a result, your process benefits from a particularly high level of conductivity and time savings due to the excellent sputtering speeds.

Sheets made of molybdenum and the molydenum alloys TZM, MLR and MLS are available in the thickness range from 0,127mm to 40mm in different sizes in the Plansee Online Shop. Order fast and easily in the producer's onlineshop: www.plansee.com/shop. Special dimensions are available on request.

Sheets made of tungsten and tungsten alloys are available in the thickness range from 0,05mm to 5mm in different sizes in the Plansee Online Shop. Order fast and easily in the producer's onlineshop: www.plansee.com/shop. Special dimensions are available on request.

Evaporation coils are available in many different lenghts, diameters, coil lenghts and coil pitches. These resistance heaters with their very high melting points will bring practically any metal to the boil. At the same time, their high corrosion resistance and outstanding material purity prevent any contamination of the substrate. The range includes evaporation coils made of the following materials: — Grain stabilized tungsten (WVM) for the evaporation of aluminum — Tantalum — Molybdenum — Molybdenum-lanthenum (ML) for particularly long service lives

Molybdenum and tungsten crucibles from Plansee are the perfect vessels for melting and solidifying the single crystal. The formed crucibles have particularly thin walls combined with excellent creep resistance. The outstanding purity of the crucibles prevents any contamination of the single crystal. Even the most aggressive sapphire melts cannot do any harm. Plansee produces large numbers of formed molybdenum and tungsten crucibles and supplies them in all commonly used dimensions. They are successfully used by all the major manufacturers and numerous end customers worldwide.

Shielding components made from tungsten, molybdenum and the tungsten heavy alloy Densimet® only allow radiation to pass where it is actually needed. During the generation of X-ray radiation our materials guarantee that environmental radiation exposure is kept to an absolute minimum. Plansee produces flat shielding components using an innovative, near net shape process. The result: The foils and sheets have a particularly isotrope and homogeneous microstructure free from any characteristic orientation. Possible products and applications are: — Shielding components for X-ray tubes — Shutter blades for computer tomographs — Shielding elements for detectors — Isotope containers for brachytherapy — Shielding elements for linear accelerators — Shieldings for oil and gas drilling

Plansee produces material for wear-resistant coatings, adhesive layers, decorative or DLC coatings. Offering compositions tailored for advanced hard coatings with optimized mechanical and tribological properties. Further topics that might be addressed are: enhancing of thermal and chemical stability, adding of functional properties like self-lubrication, self-hardening and self-healing. To adjust the coating characteristics to the dedicated application, Plansee offers its scientific expertise in alloying of targets and cathodes with elements that influence the coating properties as follows: Grain size and morphology, Hardness adaption, High temperature oxidation resistance, Friction coefficient, Thermal stability, Thermal conductivity, Electrical conductivity, Antibacterial properties, Color effects. Offered sputtering targets and arcing cathodes: Titanium-Aluminum Aluminum-Chromium Chromium Titanium-silicon Titanium Zirconium Tungsten carbide Titanium-diboride

For the high-resolution devices used in general X-ray applications, mammography, angiography and computed tomography, Plansee develops and manufactures extremely robust X-ray anodes and components for X-ray tubes. The product range includes anodes made from molybdenum alloys such as TZM and MHC with focal tracks consisting of various tungsten-rhenium alloys. Plansee manufactures molybdenum-vanadium and molybdenum-niobium targets that are specially designed for use in mammography applications and which can be optionally equipped with precious metal focal tracks. The product range also comprises material combinations including copper and precious metals and brazed graphite elements on the metallic disc. As braze materials V/Ta/Zr composites, titanium, zirconium and other materials are used. Plansee supplies anodes as ready-to-use assemblies including the rotor, heat shield and shaft.
