Application

The Ytterbium sputtering target, with dimensions 76.2mm in diameter and 1.59mm in thickness, serves a pivotal role in various advanced technological applications. This product leverages the unique properties of ytterbium, a rare-earth metal, to enhance its performance in diverse fields. By undergoing a process that increases its electrical resistance under high stress, the Ytterbium sputtering target is utilized effectively in stress gauges for monitoring ground deformations from seismic activities and nuclear tests. It is instrumental in fiber amplifiers and fiber optic technologies, as well as in lasing applications due to ytterbium's capability to act as a dopant, thereby improving grain refinement and mechanical properties in materials like stainless steel. Furthermore, although less common, ytterbium alloys find application in dentistry, and the element is used in creating thermal barrier coatings on substrates of nickel, iron, and other transitional metals. The ability to be processed into various forms like ingots, wires, foils, and discs further expands its applicability across different domains.
