Rhodium shavings are a byproduct of milling and grinding metal operations. Shavings are produced from the shaving or cutting of metal and then collected for
recycling. American Elements specializes in producing high purity
Rhodium Shavings with the smallest possible average grain sizes for use in preparation of pressed and bonded sputtering targets and in Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) processes including Thermal and Electron Beam (E-Beam) Evaporation, Low Temperature Organic Evaporation, Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD),
Metallic-Organic and Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD). Rhodium Shavings are thin
strips of
ribbons. Shavings are also useful in any application where
high surface areas are desired such as
water treatment and in
fuel cell and
solar applications.
Nanoparticles also produce very high surface areas. Our standard Shavings particle sizes average in the range of - 325 mesh, - 100 mesh, 10-50 microns and submicron ( 1 micron). We can also provide many materials in the nanoscale range. American Elements produces to many standard grades when applicable, including Mil Spec (military grade); ACS, Reagent and Technical Grade; Food, Agricultural and Pharmaceutical Grade; Optical Grade,
USP and
EP/BP (European Pharmacopoeia/British Pharmacopoeia)and follows applicable
ASTM testing standards. Typical and custom packaging is available. We also produce
Rhodium as
rod,
ingot,
pieces,
pellets,
disc,
granules,
wire, and in compound forms, such as
oxide. Other shapes are available by request. Nanocrystalline structures have been found in metal shavings, which possess traits of high strength and wear resistance.
