The invention relates to a
molybdenum target
welding method, which comprises the following steps of: providing a
molybdenum or
molybdenum alloy target, a backing plate and a solder; plating
nickel on the
joint surface of the molybdenum or molybdenum
alloy target; preheating the molybdenum or molybdenum
alloy target to ensure that the solder is distributed on the
joint surface of the molybdenum or molybdenum alloy target; preheating the backing plate to ensure that the solder is distributed on the
joint surface of the backing plate; adhering the joint surface of the molybdenum or molybdenum alloy target to the joint surface of the backing plate, and
welding to form a target component; and cooling the target component. According to the molybdenum target
welding method, the molybdenum or molybdenum alloy target and the backing plate, particularly a
copper backing plate can be combined together with high strength, so that the requirement of a
sputtering process on high strength is met; and even if the target has large area, the target component, particularly the molybdenum or molybdenum alloy target also can be effectively prevented from being greatly deformed, warped and the like.
