Scandium Sputtering Target Description
Scandium sputtering target shares properties with its source material. Scandium, a transition metal with a silvery appearance, is often classified as a non-lanthanide rare earth element. Scandium metal is widely used in various products, such as fluorescent lamps, baseball bats, and bicycle frames. In industry, it is primarily alloyed with other metal compounds to produce high-performance materials. Currently, the only known concentrated sources of scandium are thortveitite, euxenite, and gadolinite, which are rare minerals from Scandinavia and Madagascar.
