TALOS BOND™: The Unyielding High-Temperature Rotatable Bond
Maximize your deposition rate and eliminate catastrophic failures with Talos Bond™, our proprietary High-Temperature Rotatable Indium Bonding service. Unfortunately, standard Indium bonds soften under the intense thermal loads of modern high-speed manufacturing, causing “Indium Drip” and allowing the target to drift down the backing tube. To solve this, we engineered Talos Bond™—named for the mythological automaton of unshakeable strength. This advanced bonding technology withstands significantly higher thermal stress, supporting power ranges up to 18kW with zero failures, making it the essential safeguard for vertical cathodes and high-throughput coating lines.

Guard Against Drift and Indium Drip
Push your rotatable magnetrons to their limit without risking bond integrity. Talos Bond™ acts as a thermal and mechanical shield for your process:
Prevent Target Drift
First, in vertical cathodes, gravity pulls on the target material as the bond softens. Talos Bond™ creates a rigid, stable connection that eliminates target drift, ensuring your plasma uniformity remains constant throughout the target’s life.

Zero Indium Drip
Furthermore, “Indium Drip” occurs when a standard bond melts and seeps out, arcing and ruining the vacuum. Our proprietary process manages heat transfer more effectively than traditional bonds, allowing for increased roll speeds and deposition rates.

High Power Density (18kW)
Finally, by stabilizing the thermal interface, this high-power sputtering bond allows you to run at higher power densities. This means you can achieve faster line speeds and higher productivity without the fear of delamination.
