Aluminum slug is metal cylinder of aluminium, which is customizable. It is a kind of sputtering target as evaporation coating material.Aluminium sputtering targets are widely used in industries that require thin, reliable coatings for enhanced conductivity, reflectivity, and corrosion resistance. Made from high-purity aluminiu, these targets are primarily used in physical vapor deposition(PVD) processes, where a thin film of aluminium is deposited onto vairous surfaces. Due to aluminium’s lightweight, conductive, and reflective properties, these coatings are highly valued in electronics, optics, automotive, and packaging industries.

Applications
In the electronics industry, aluminium sputtering targets are essential for producing conductive thin films for integrated circuits, display screens, and semiconductor devices. Aluminium coatings improve electrical conductivity and performance, making them ideal for microelectronic components like transistors and interconnects in advanced circuit designs. In the production of flat panel displays and touchscreens, aluminum films ensure high-quality conductive layers that contribute to the display’s efficiency and visual clarity.
The optical industry leverages aluminum’s high reflectivity for mirros, lenses, and other optical components. Aluminum coatings are mirrors and telescope lenses enhance reflectivity and durability, making them ideal for high-performance optical systems in both consumer and scientific applications. Aluminum is also commonly used for anti-corrosive coatings in the automotive and aerospace sectors, where it provides lightweight, durable protection for parts exposed to harsh environments.
In packaging, aluminum coatings produced by sputtering technology are used to create protective barriers on plastics, paper, and other materials. This helps to preserve product freshness, prevent contamination, and improve packaging strenght, making aluminum coatings a go-to solution in the food and pharamaceutical industries.
