Iron

High-purity iron targets are used in magnetron sputtering to create thin films for magnetic storage media, sensors, and electromagnetic interference shielding.

Iron is the primary constituent of steel and various specialty alloys, used to enhance mechanical strength, hardness, and magnetic properties in industrial materials.

Spherical iron and steel powders are utilized in additive manufacturing processes like Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and Binder Jetting to produce complex structural components.

Iron-based powders are applied via plasma or flame spray to provide wear resistance, corrosion protection, and to rebuild worn mechanical surfaces.

Iron is used as an evaporation source in physical vapor deposition processes to deposit magnetic thin films for electronic and optical applications.
