4N (99.99%) Nickel (Ni) Pellets Evaporation Materials
Introduction:
Nickel evaporation materials refer to solid nickel-based substances specifically designed and manufactured for use in thermal evaporation processes. These materials typically come in the form of pellets, rods, wires, or other shapes suitable for vaporization in a vacuum environment.
During the thermal evaporation process, the solid nickel material is heated to its vaporization temperature, causing it to transition directly from a solid to a vapor state. The vaporized nickel then condenses onto a substrate surface, forming thin films or coatings with desired properties.
Nickel evaporation materials find applications across various industries due to nickel’s unique properties, such as corrosion resistance, catalytic activity, and conductivity. People commonly use them for protective coatings on steel, magnesium, and aluminum alloys to enhance their durability and resistance to corrosion.
