Intermetallic composites from Advanced Ceramics are used vacuum metallizing industry. These ceramics withstand higher operating temperatures, have lower moisture sensitivity, low thermal expansion, and high density. Available in a selection of resistance ranges, IMC boats can be tailored to match available power supplies. These unique properties provide the vacuum metallizer a resistance heated source that operates at high evaporation levels, and is extremely durable in operation.
