About FAST Metallurgy

FAST METALLURGY GmbH has been producing sputtering targets and cathodes for PVD coating processes since 2008 and supplies them worldwide. The company was founded by experienced experts from the PVD industry and serves customers from research and development, hard coating and mobility. The product range includes targets made of tungsten carbide, titanium, chromium, zirconium as well as aluminium alloys such as AlTi, AlCr, AlCrSi and AlTiSi; any alloys, mixtures, pure metals, oxides, nitrides, borides and carbides are also available. The majority of production takes place in Germany, allowing individual compositions and sizes to be provided at short notice; standard aluminium alloys are ready for shipment from stock within 24 hours. In addition to target production, the company offers material development for new coatings as well as contract manufacturing with CNC turning and EDM. Delivery also in small quantities without long-term supply contracts or minimum order quantities.
