High-Purity Manganese for Thin-Film Deposition, Alloying, and Fuel Cell Research
Cell Lab 3N5 (99.95%) Manganese (Mn) Pieces are high-purity evaporation materials designed for vacuum deposition, alloy production, and energy research. As a critical alloying element, manganese plays an essential role in the steel, aluminium, and cast iron industries—improving strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance.
In thin-film deposition, manganese serves as an effective coating and doping material, particularly in fuel cell interconnect protection and semiconductor fabrication. Its reliable evaporation behaviour and good adhesion make it a trusted choice for advanced coatings, R&D, and electronic applications.
High Purity (99.95%) – Ensures minimal contamination for consistent film properties and electrical performance.
Excellent Alloying Compatibility – Ideal for steel, aluminium, and cast iron enhancement.
Good Evaporation Stability – Maintains controlled deposition at moderate temperatures.
Versatile Coating Material – Used for metallic protection layers and dopant integration.
Custom Sizes & Packaging – Available in multiple weights and dimensions for research and industrial use.

Q1: Can manganese be evaporated via both E-beam and thermal methods?
Yes. Manganese can be evaporated using E-beam, tungsten boats, or crucible methods, depending on chamber configuration.
Q2: What precautions are needed when handling Mn pieces?
Store in a dry, inert environment to prevent oxidation. Handle with non-reactive tools to maintain surface integrity.
Q3: Is manganese suitable for thin-film semiconductor doping?
Yes. Its controlled vapour pressure and purity make it ideal for precise doping processes.
Q4: Can Cell Lab provide customised packaging or purities?
Absolutely — customised purity levels, sizes, and bulk orders are available upon request.
You may return most new, unopened items within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. We'll also pay the return shipping costs if the return is a result of our error (you received an incorrect or defective item, etc.).
You should expect to receive your refund within four weeks of giving your package to the return shipper, however, in many cases you will receive a refund more quickly.
