Nickel (Ni) | 101,6 x 1 mm | 99,99+%

Description

Nickel is a hard, lustrous, silvery white metal. It has a density of 8.91 g/cm³, a melting point of 1,453°C and a vapour pressure of 10^-4 Torr at 1,262°C. Its main properties are malleability, ductility and ferromagnetism, and its polished surface resists tarnishing in air. It is the second most abundant element in the Earth’s core after iron. It is mainly used to make stainless steel, coins and batteries. It is also used in the manufacture of jewellery. However, its use there has declined due to skin allergies. When evaporated in a vacuum, nickel can be used as a decorative coating on ceramic surfaces or as a soldering layer in the manufacture of circuits.

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