Product Introduction

 

Titanium-copper conductive targets are high-performance bimetallic composite targets, using titanium as the functional surface layer and high-purity copper as the conductive and thermally conductive core layer. They are fabricated through explosive welding or hot rolling diffusion metallurgical composite processes, achieving atomic-level strong bonding at the interface, eliminating the risks of delamination, poor connection, and thermal resistance drift. Unlike single pure titanium or pure copper targets, this composite structure perfectly integrates the excellent corrosion resistance, sputtering stability, and film adhesion of titanium with the ultra-high electrical and thermal conductivity of copper. It solves the problems of poor conductivity, high temperature rise, and high cost associated with pure titanium targets, while avoiding the defects of poor corrosion resistance and short service life of pure copper targets. The product is widely used in PVD vacuum coating, functional thin film deposition, electroplating conductive anodes, electrochemical reactions, and other scenarios, making it a cost-effective upgrade material to replace pure titanium and pure copper targets.

Professional Consultation Q&A

 

Q1: What are the core advantages of titanium-copper composite conductive targets compared to pure titanium and pure copper targets?

A1: The core advantage lies in achieving an optimal balance between functionality, electrical and thermal conductivity, and cost. Pure titanium targets offer excellent corrosion resistance and sputtering performance, but suffer from poor electrical and thermal conductivity, resulting in target surface temperature rise and unevenness at high power, and high material costs. Pure copper targets exhibit excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, but have poor corrosion and sputtering resistance, short service life, and are prone to contaminating the plating solution/film. The titanium-copper conductive target uses titanium as the surface layer to ensure sputtering and corrosion resistance, and copper as the core layer to ensure efficient electrical and thermal conductivity. It improves target surface temperature uniformity by 60%, has a material cost far lower than pure titanium targets, and a service life more than three times that of pure copper targets, resulting in the best overall long-term operating benefits.

Q2: Will the composite interface affect thermal and electrical conductivity, and will it cause uneven target surface temperature?

A2: Titanium-copper conductive targets produced using standard metallurgical composite processes have atomic-level bonding at the interface, with a bonding strength ≥120MPa. The interfacial contact thermal resistance and electrical resistance are extremely low, almost negligible, and will not cause uneven target surface temperature. The temperature uniformity of our finished target surfaces can be controlled within ±5℃, far superior to targets composited by mechanical pressing or brazing. Furthermore, each target undergoes full-surface ultrasonic testing before leaving the factory to ensure no unbonded defects, guaranteeing consistent performance from the source.

Q3: How to select the thickness of the titanium layer on the target surface, and what is its relationship with the service life?

A3: The thickness of the titanium layer is mainly determined by the operating power, usage time, and corrosion intensity. Higher power, longer expected lifespan, and stronger corrosion require a thicker titanium layer. For conventional decorative coatings and low-to-medium power applications, a 1–3mm titanium layer is sufficient; for high-power sputtering and highly corrosive electroplating applications, a 3–8mm titanium layer is recommended. We will calculate the titanium layer consumption rate based on your operating power, average daily usage time, and maintenance cycle, and recommend the optimal thickness to control procurement costs while meeting service life requirements.

 

Latest company news

Titanium-clad copper anode conductive rods for PCB electroplating have entered mass production, meeting the refined electroplating needs of high-end circuit boards.

 

Rooted in Baoji, Shaanxi, known as China's Titanium Valley, Baoji Ruihenghua Titanium Metal Composite Materials Co., Ltd. recently completed process optimization and capacity expansion of its production line for composite conductive rods used in electronic electroplating. The company has officially launched a series of titanium-clad copper anode conductive rods specifically designed for PCB electroplating, precisely matching the stringent requirements of high-end PCB manufacturing for uniform plating and cleanliness of the plating solution. This series uses TA1/TA2 industrial pure titanium as the outer coating and T2 high-purity copper as the conductive core. Through explosive bonding or hot extrusion diffusion processes, atomic-level metallurgical bonding is achieved, with an interface bonding strength ≥100MPa, a composite bonding rate ≥98%, and a copper core conductivity ≥98% IACS. This ensures long-term uniform and stable current distribution, effectively improving the plating uniformity of high aspect ratio through-holes and fine lines, and contributing to higher plating yields for HDI boards, multilayer boards, and rigid-flex boards. The outer titanium layer completely isolates the copper core from acidic plating solutions, preventing abnormal copper ion precipitation that contaminates the plating solution and generates anode sludge, significantly reducing the frequency of bath maintenance and auxiliary material consumption. Currently, our products fully cover three major shapes: square bars, flat bars, and round bars. They are compatible with mainstream PCB production equipment such as VCP vertical continuous electroplating lines, gantry electroplating lines, and roll-to-roll electroplating lines, and are widely used in processes such as copper plating, tin plating, and precious metal electroplating.

Focusing on the diverse equipment specifications and differentiated production line modification needs of the PCB industry, the company has further improved its full-process customized processing capabilities for anode conductive rods. It can provide one-to-one customized solutions based on the customer's tank size, conductive base structure, and installation method. Relying on precision CNC machining centers, the company can complete the integrated processing of supporting structures such as sinking end caps, suspended conductive lugs, and copper busbar transition joints. All cut end faces are fully sealed with titanium material and undergo penetrant testing to prevent plating solution from seeping into and corroding the internal copper core. Product dimensional accuracy can be controlled within ±0.2mm, and straightness ≤0.5mm/m. It supports delivery in various states such as surface polishing and pickling passivation, and can be directly adapted to customers' existing production lines. The entire process, from composite substrate production to finished product deep processing, is completed in-house, enabling rapid response to customer needs for spare parts replenishment and customization, effectively shortening delivery cycles and helping customers reduce communication costs associated with multiple procurement and outsourcing.

Upgraded electronic plating services help PCB customers improve production line operational efficiency.

 

Leveraging a comprehensive quality control system and independent import/export rights, the company offers customized service solutions for the PCB electronic electroplating industry, providing end-to-end technical and supply support to domestic and international PCB manufacturers and surface treatment customers. All PCB-specific anode conductive rods undergo full-length ultrasonic testing, DC resistance testing, dimensional accuracy verification, and full visual inspection before leaving the factory. Each batch comes with an original EN 10204 3.1 material certificate and RoHS environmental compliance test report, meeting the environmental and quality traceability requirements of the electronics industry. The company has a professional electroplating application technology team that can provide pre-sales selection guidance, installation assistance, and after-sales maintenance technical support, helping customers upgrade from traditional pure copper and lead-tin anodes. Currently, the products serve many high-end PCB manufacturers in China and are exported in bulk to the electronics manufacturing markets of Southeast Asia and Europe.
