Precision Chromium Sputtering Targets (Cr) for Durability and Aesthetics
Achieve durable, highly-adherent films with our high-quality chromium sputtering targets. To start with, Chromium (Cr) is renowned for its exceptional hardness, anti-corrosion properties, and brilliant decorative finish. Therefore, it is a cornerstone high-purity Cr deposition material for functional and aesthetic thin-film applications. We provide targets up to 99.95% purity with controlled grain size, making them ideal for high-volume manufacturing of automotive coatings, solar panels, and robust hard coatings. Maximize your throughput and coating quality with our reliable planar and rotary Chromium targets.
Experience Unmatched Quality and Performance
Key Applications: Hardness, Aesthetics, and Solar
We provide Cr targets designed to excel in a demanding range of industries:
Corrosion & Wear Resistance (Hard Coatings)
Corrosion & Wear Resistance (Hard Coatings): First, Chromium is widely used for wear-resistant chromium coating applications. The key reason is that it forms an exceptionally hard, durable, and corrosion-resistant film (often CrN or CrC when reactively sputtered) for industrial tools, molds, and engine components.

Decorative & Functional Coatings
In addition, Chromium delivers a brilliant, reflective decorative chromium finish. This is why it is the industry standard for automotive trim, reflective glass, and other components requiring a lustrous, durable layer with a high bond strength.

Solar & Semiconductor Barriers
Crucially, high-purity Chromium serves a functional role as a chromium barrier layer solar technology. For example, in CIGS solar cells, it acts as a critical back contact barrier to prevent impurities from the steel substrate from diffusing into the active layer during high-temperature processing.
