Cell Lab 4N5 (99.995%) Nickel (Ni) Pellets Evaporation Materials

High-Purity Nickel Pellets for Vacuum Deposition and Thin-Film Coating

General Description

Cell Lab 4N5 (99.995%) Nickel (Ni) Pellets are premium-grade evaporation materials engineered for vacuum coating, thin-film deposition, and surface enhancement. Nickel is a silvery-white, lustrous metal with a faint golden hue, offering excellent corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, and electrical stability.

It is widely used as a coating material on steel, magnesium, and aluminium alloys to enhance corrosion resistance and adhesion. Nickel thin films are commonly applied in circuit devices, magnetic storage media, sensors, fuel cells, and decorative coatings. In energy and optics, Ni coatings also improve light absorption on solar collector receivers.

Key Features

  • Ultra-High Purity (99.995%) – Minimises contamination during thin-film fabrication for precision electronic and optical applications.

  • Excellent Evaporation Stability – Ensures smooth, uniform coating with minimal spitting or splatter.

  • Superior Corrosion Resistance – Extends lifespan and performance of coated substrates.

  • High Thermal and Electrical Conductivity – Ideal for conductive and heat-dissipating thin films.

  • Customisable Form Factors – Pellets, granules, and wire forms available upon request.

FAQ

Q1: What advantages do 4N5 nickel pellets offer over 3N8 nickel wire?
The 4N5 purity level ensures ultra-low contamination, making it preferable for semiconductor-grade and optical thin-film applications requiring high stability.

Q2: Can these pellets be used for electron-beam evaporation?
Yes. They exhibit excellent E-beam compatibility, providing stable deposition with consistent film composition.

Q3: What crucible materials are recommended?
Nickel can be evaporated using alumina (Al₂O₃) or tungsten-coated boats for uniform heating and clean evaporation.

Q4: Is it suitable for decorative coatings?
Absolutely — the smooth, metallic finish of Ni makes it ideal for decorative, corrosion-resistant coatings on ceramics and metals.
