Damaging of boats during nickel evaporation

Hi;

As we know Al is very wettable material.Therefore evaporation of Alimunium
is very problematic. You can try to give current very slowly or use Alimuna
boat. But it's hard to use therefore breakable problem.

In addionally the the quality of boats of evaporation can be change
according to manufacturer.

Hi,

   I met similar problem when I evaporated Al by
tungsten boat. When Al melted in tungsten boat, the
evaporation rate suddenly reduced and after a while
the boat was "ate" by the melted Al. So I can not
obtain thick Al film. Does anyone know this and give
some hint? Thank you very much.
