Rhodium

Rhodium sputtering targets are used to create thin films for high-reflectivity mirrors and specialized optical coatings due to the metal's high reflectance and extreme corrosion resistance.

Rhodium is deposited as a thin layer in optical applications to provide a durable, highly reflective surface that is resistant to tarnishing and atmospheric corrosion.

Rhodium is used as an alloying agent for platinum and palladium to increase hardness and improve the mechanical properties of materials used in high-temperature environments.

High-purity rhodium pellets and wire are used as evaporation materials in physical vapor deposition processes to produce thin metallic films for electronics and decorative finishes.
