Lead Sputtering Targets

Lead is a soft and dense silvery-white metal with malleable and ductile characteristics. This chemical element is known as a poor electric conductor. Lead has a low melting point, combined with its soft, malleable, and ductile characteristics; lead is widely used in various applications. Even though lead is known as a poor electric conductor, it has a strong corrosive resistance. Lead sputtering targets have been used since ancient Roman times for construction materials such as water pipes, roofing, and windows. Recent uses of lead sputtering targets can also be found in electrical devices that are for cable wires protections. Another great advantage of lead sputtering targets Is also found in electrical and medical industries. Lead sputtering targets have been used for radiation protection purposes. In electrical industries, lead sputtering targets are applied to electronic display components to protect viewers from radiation. While in medical industries, the lead sputtering target application is similar, it is also applied to medical devices to absorb gamma-ray and X-ray
