Description
Iron is the most widely used metal in the world. It is metallic grey, ductile, ferromagnetic and easily rusts when exposed to oxygen. It has a melting point of 1,535°C, a density of 7.86 g/cm³ and a vapour pressure of 10-4 Torr at 1,180°C. Iron is used in a wide range of products, including tools, cars and machinery. Alloying iron with carbon produces steel, which is an essential component in construction and automotive manufacturing. Iron is also of biological importance as it is responsible for transporting oxygen in the blood. It is evaporated under vacuum to form layers in the manufacture of semiconductors, magnetic storage media and fuel cells, to name but a few.

* This is a recommendation based on our experience with these materials in our sputter guns. Rates are based on non-bonded targets and are material specific. Bonded targets should be operated at lower power to avoid bonding failure. Bonded targets should be operated at 20 watts/square inch or less depending on the material.
