High-purity Vanadium Carbide (VC) sputtering targets for DC/RF magnetron deposition of ultra-hard wear-resistant coatings on cutting tools, dies, and precision components. VC thin films exhibit hardness values of 20–28 GPa, low coefficient of friction, and excellent thermal stability up to 700°C. CY Scientific hot-press sintered VC targets achieve > 95% theoretical density for splash-free sputtering and consistent coating hardness throughout the target service life.
