Hafnium Sheet
Hafnium has a strong ability to capture neutrons, making it an excellent material for control rods in nuclear reactors. The nuclear industry roughly consumes half of the Hf produced every year. Hafnium is also used as an additive to alloys. Recently, scientists at Intel and IBM found that hafnium-based compounds can be applied in gate insulators to make the processors even smaller. AEM is a trusted supplier of hafnium plates and hafnium sheets with custom sizes.
