Surface Treatment and Machining for TiAl Sputtering Targets

Tial Sputtering Target Manufacturing Process

• Material Selection: We carefully select high-quality Titanium and Aluminum to ensure the highest purity for our targets.

• Alloying: The Titanium and Aluminum are alloyed to achieve a homogeneous TiAl material with the desired properties.

• Machining: The alloy is precision-machined into the required target shapes and sizes.

• Sintering and Annealing: The targets undergo sintering and annealing to enhance their density and structural integrity.

• Surface Polishing: Each target is polished to ensure a smooth surface, optimizing sputtering performance and minimizing impurities.

• Quality Control: Every target is inspected for quality and consistency, including checks for purity, mechanical strength, and uniformity.

ISO 9001:2015&Patent Certificate

If you use our titanium-aluminum targets, our HIP technology will ensure that remarkably fewer droplets are formed on your product during coating. So our targets keep your coatings smoother. 

Titanium aluminum targets are widely used in the coating of milling cutter, drill bit, hobbing cutter and stamping die in machining. Excellent high temperature oxidation resistance can prolong the service life of tools and dies. According to the special requirements of customers, we developed cral alloy target with ultra-fine grain structure, which can effectively reduce the production of liquid droplets in the coating process and provide the coating rate.
