Titanium-based and zirconium-based mixed materials and sputtering targets

The invention includes an apparatus and method for determining the pass through flux of magnetic materials. The apparatus comprises one or more magnetic field sensors arranged in such a way as to collect field strength data in any or all the x, y, z directions. The apparatus also comprises a magnet field source or arrangement of magnet field sources which are placed beneath the material being characterized and includes a mechanism whereby the magnetic material can be mapped by the movement of any one or combination of: magnetic field source or sources, sensors and magnetic material. The invented method comprises the use of various configurations of magnetic sources in order to generate a magnetic field that emulates the open-loop condition found in magnetron sputtering.

Method and apparatus for determining the pass through flux of magnetic materials

Described is a method and apparatus for producing high purity titanium and high purity titanium so produced. The process contemplates producing titanium sponge in a container and performing titanium fused salt electrolysis in situ in the same container to produce high purity titanium crystal, and where especially low oxygen content is desired, to treat the high purity titanium crystal as produced with iodine.

Titanium materials

This invention includes a method and an apparatus for producing high purity titanium and high purity titanium so produced. The high purity titanium comprises titanium and less than 0.1 ppm, by weight, total of sodium, potassium, aluminum, iron, chromium, zirconium, vanadium and nickel.
