Lead Sputtering Targets and Applications

Lead is a chemical element with symbol Pb and atomic number 82. Lead is a heavy metal that is denser than most common materials. Lead is soft and malleable, and also has a relatively low melting point.
As we mentioned lead sputtering target is a soft metal and soft metals have many properties that make them useful as solid lubricants for special situations. For example when we look at lead sputtering targets, we can say that it has low shear strengths and ability to be applied as continuous films over harder substrates. And also lead is good conductor of heat and electricity and is stable in vacuum or when exposed to nuclear radiation
Lead can be deposited as lubricating films on harder substrates by physical vapor deposition methods, such as evaporation, sputtering, and ion plating. Ion plating and vacuum sputtering permit close control of film deposition and thickness and can provide good adhesion to the substrate.
Thin-metal-film lubrication is most relevant at high temperatures or in applications where sliding is limited like rolling-element bearings. According to the studies done by NASA state that lead films have been very successful for long-term, rolling-element bearing lubrication in space mechanisms. The advantage of lead films which can be obtained by using sputtering targets over those of silver or indium is the unavoidable presence of lead oxide, a reputedly good solid lubricant, within the films.
We can say that lead films are used for many years to lubricate rolling-element bearings on rotating anode x-ray tubes, on satellite parts operating in space, and on other equipment exposed to high temperatures and nuclear radiation.

Graphene Tyres and Graphene Brake Pads

Could Graphene Use Create A Distruptive Technology In Tyre Sector? Almost every day, we see new applications emerging from graphene. The fact is certain; graphene is a disruptive technology that holds huge potential for commercialization. Graphene has abilities to open new markets and even replace existing materials or material technologies. A brand new application of graphene came out which is producing graphene tyres and brake pads. https://www.canadacarbon.com/brake-linings-gasket... In 2016 GraphChina (Graphene Innovation Conference); Sentury and Huagao launched their first electrostatic conducting graphene tyre on September 22nd. 2-3 weeks before the conference Sentury and Huagao officially announced their cooperation on the product. During the press conference, Sentury’s engineers (which is branded with the Landsail moniker), revealed that the latest test data shows their graphene-enhanced tyre offers; 1.8 meters shorter stopping distances (6 % improvement on conv...

Characterization and potential uses of Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle

   Hydroxylapatite , also referred to as hydroxyapatite (HA), is a calcium apatite in its naturally occurring mineral form with the formula Ca5(PO4)3(OH). A fluorapatite or chlorapatite may be produced if the OH−ion is replaced by fluoride, chloride or carbonate. Hydroxylapatite crystallizes in the hexagonal crystal pattern. Pure hydroxylapatite powder is of white color. However, naturally occurring apatites can also have brown, yellow, or green hue, resembling the coloration of dental fluorosis. Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle (HApN) , nanodots or nanocrystals are spherical or faceted high surface area oxide magnetic nanostructured particles. Nanoscale Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle (HApN) are normally 20-80 nanometers (nm) with specific surface area (SSA) in the 15 - 50 m2/g range but sometimes available with an average particle size of 100 nm range with a specific surface area of approximately 5 - 10 m2/g. Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle (HApN...
