Hafnium Disc Description
Hafnium is number 72 in the periodic table. It is a silvery ductile metal and has almost the same chemical properties and atomic radius as zirconium. Hf is a good transition metal. It is corrosion resistant and can withstand high temperatures. Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) specializes in producing high purity hafnium discs for use in semiconductors, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and physical vapor deposition (PVD) display and optical applications.

Hafnium Disc Applications
-Be used in the atomic energy industry and aerospace industry, be used for the control rod material in the nuclear reactor, can be made for the small size and large energy rocket booster.
-As hafnium has a great ability to shed electrons into the air and has a high melting point, it is the crucial component of the electrode in plasma cutting.
-Hafnium also has a strong ability to capture a neutron, making it a great material for control rods in nuclear reactors.
-Hafnium is also used as an additive to alloys.
