We supply vaporation Boats manufactured from tungsten, molybdenum, molybdenum-lanthanum (ML), molybdenum-yttrium oxide (MY) or tantalum. Our evaporation boats offer a good level of electrical conductivity and possess low vapor pressures combined with a very high melting point. When powered on, our boats heat the material for evaporation. During this process, the low vapor pressures of our metals ensure that no tungsten, tantalum or molybdenum particles enter the vapor and penetrate the subsequent layer.

Boron Nitride Ceramics are advanced synthetic ceramic materials available in solid and powder form. Its unique properties – from high heat capacity and outstanding thermal conductivity to easy machinability, lubricity, low dielectric constant and superior dielectric strength – make boron nitride a truly outstanding material.
In its solid form, Hexagonal Boron Nitride is often referred to as “white graphite” because it has a microstructure similar to that of graphite. However, unlike graphite, boron nitride is an excellent electrical insulator that has a higher oxidation temperature. It offers high thermal conductivity and good thermal shock resistance and can be easily machined to close tolerances in virtually any shape. After machining, it is ready for use without additional heat treating or firing operations.
To make solid shapes, Hexagonal Boron Nitride Powders and binders are hot-pressed in billets up to 490mm x 490mm x 410mm at pressures up to 2000 psi and temperatures up to 2000°C. This process forms a material that is dense and easily machined and ready to use. It is available in virtually any custom shape that can be machined and has unique characteristics and physical properties which make it valuable for solving tough problems in a wide range of industrial applications.
Boron Nitride Coating is one of the few materials that offers electrical insulation and high thermal conductivity. This makes BN extremely useful in high power electronic applications in heat sink and heat spreader applications. Other materials that are commonly used are Aluminum Nitride, beryllium oxide, and sometimes Alumina – however, all of these materials are significantly more difficult to machine into intricate shapes.
