Titanium Nitride Sputtering Targets and Applications

Titanium nitride which has the chemical formula of TiN is an extremely hard ceramic material, often used as a coating on titanium alloys, steel, carbide, and aluminium components to improve the substrate's surface properties.
Applied as a thin coating, Titanium Nitride (TiN) Sputtering Targets (Size:1'' ,Thickness:0.125'' , Purity: 99.5%) is used to harden and protect cutting and sliding surfaces, for decorative purposes (due to its golden appearance), and as a non-toxic exterior for medical implants. In most applications a coating of less than 5 micrometres (0.00020 in) is applied.
The titanium thin film coatings are used in many industrial and medical applications owing to its superior properties such as high corrosion resistance, increase in mechanical properties, high thermal properties . Titanium nitride composition has various distinctive advantages such as wear resistant coatings, tools used for cutting, diffusion barriers and integrated circuits. Titanium nitride composition also have outstanding physical properties such as high hardness, inert, high corrosion resistance, low electrical resistivity, excellent thermal stability. These titanium and titanium nitride coating materials have the combination of toughness, inertness, adhesion and hardness, owing to its excellent reflective nature and also used in jewelry and optics. So, titanium and titanium nitride coatings have various advantages over other coating material and the applications ranges from microelectronics, light detectors, cutting tools and medical instrumentation. Therefore, special interest has been developed over the years about these Ti and TiN coatings.
When we look at the sputtering targets we can say that titanium nitride is one of the important compounds prepared by sputtering deposition and these nitride films are used in wide range of applications. The titanium nitride deposition is prepared by using nitrogen as the reactive gas and argon as sputtering gas, the composition of thin films can be controlled by different sputtering gas ratios (Ar/ N2) used.

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...
