Molybdenum mirror

Features

1.High reflectivity: Molybdenum reflectors have extremely high reflectivity for light with a wavelength of 300~2000nm, with a reflectivity of more than 98%. When light hits the surface of the molybdenum reflector, most of the light will be reflected by the mirror instead of being absorbed or scattered. This high reflectivity makes molybdenum reflectors widely used in optical instruments, laser technology and other fields, and can effectively improve the utilization rate and transmission efficiency of light.
2.Corrosion resistance: Molybdenum reflectors have good corrosion resistance and can be used in humid and acidic environments.
3.Thermal stability and chemical stability: Molybdenum metal has a high melting point and can maintain stable performance under high temperature environments. At the same time, molybdenum has stable chemical properties and is not easy to react chemically with other substances. These characteristics enable molybdenum reflectors to maintain good working performance under harsh conditions such as high temperature and corrosive environment, and are suitable for various complex environments.
4.Mechanical strength: Molybdenum metal itself has high hardness and toughness, and can withstand greater pressure and impact. This makes the molybdenum reflector less likely to deform or damage when subjected to external forces, ensuring its reliability and durability during use.
5.Easy processing: Molybdenum reflectors are easy to process and can be processed into various shapes and sizes, suitable for manufacturing various optical devices.

Manufacturing process

The manufacturing process of molybdenum reflectors includes material preparation, molybdenum substrate processing, reflective layer preparation, reflective layer modulation and surface treatment.

Surface treatment: including coating a protective layer, applying an anti-reflective coating or performing optical film stacking to further improve the optical performance and durability of the molybdenum mirror.

1.Material preparation: Prepare the materials of the molybdenum substrate and the reflective layer. The molybdenum substrate is usually made of high-purity molybdenum sheets or molybdenum rods.

2.Molybdenum substrate processing: including steps such as cutting, grinding and polishing. First, according to the design requirements, the molybdenum substrate is cut into the required size and shape; then the molybdenum substrate is coarsely and finely ground using a grinding machine to obtain a flat surface; finally, the surface quality of the molybdenum substrate is further improved through the polishing process.

3.Reflective layer preparation: usually physical vapor deposition (PVD) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and other technologies are used. In the PVD process, the high-purity reflective material is heated to the evaporation temperature, and then the reflective material is deposited on the molybdenum substrate by evaporation or sputtering; in the CVD process, the reflective material source gas is introduced into the reaction chamber to deposit on the molybdenum substrate to form a reflective layer.

4.Reflective layer modulation: In order to obtain the desired optical properties, the reflective layer usually needs to be modulated. This can be achieved by controlling parameters such as temperature, gas flow and deposition time during the deposition process.

5.Surface treatment: including coating a protective layer, applying an anti-reflective coating or performing optical film stacking to further improve the optical performance and durability of the molybdenum mirror.
