Aluminum Ultra High Vacuum
Chamber Advantages:
Aluminum has excellent
ultra high vacuum (UHV) properties and for many applications aluminum
is a superior UHV vacuum chamber material. Aluminum has inherently
less Hydrogen & Carbon than stainless steel and consequently less
H2, H2O, & hydrocarbon vapor at high vacuum and ultra high vacuum
levels (references).
Atlas Technologies manufactures ultra high vacuum (UHV) aluminum vacuum
chambers with a thin dense aluminum oxide this serves as a resistive barrier
reducing diffusion and desorption of high vacuum & ultra high vacuum
contaminates (Hydrogen, Oxygen & Carbon). Once baked Atlas'
aluminum vacuum chambers generally cycle to high vacuum and ultra high
vacuum levels faster than stainless chambers and require less pumping.
Due to aluminum's
superior thermal conductivity (10x stainless) aluminum vacuum chambers
bake-out faster, and more uniformly even at lower temperatures (150 C).
Atlas Technologies
manufactures robust demountable, all-metal-seal, Atlas Flanges
tm and Atlas AT-VCR tm face seal fittings which have a stainless
steel knife edge or sealing face on a aluminum body for weld-up to an
aluminum vacuum chamber. Browse our Atlas
CF Flange tm, Atlas Quick Disconnect Flange or our Atlas
AT-VCR tm pages for aluminum vacuum chamber sealing options.

 |
Due to the
fast machining speeds of aluminum, its low cost, and excellent vacuum
properties Atlas manufactures a wide variety of custom monocoque
aluminum ultra high vacuum chambers. Fabricated from a solid
block of aluminum, these vacuum chambers can resolve many design
obstacles and fixturing requirements by integrating these features
into the vacuum chamber. Atlas Technologies is the world leader
in aluminum vacuum chamber engineering, and manufacturing contact
us for design assistance or manufacturing help |

Extruded
aluminum vacuum chambers can be an incredibly economical way to
produce complex vacuum chamber geometries such as beam tubes, water
cooling or gas channels and cooling or titanium sublimation pump
fins... Contact Atlas to discuss your desired outcome and we can
help you get from the idea stage to completed the completed vacuum
chamber. Let our many years aluminum vacuum chamber expertise
assist you in getting the best chamber geometry for your application.

Spin
and Formed Aluminum Vacuum Chambers |
| |
 |
Spin or
formed vacuum chambers are an economical way of creating a axial
symmetrical or high production volume vacuum vessels. Aluminum can
superplastic flow which means it can be formed with incredible ease
into very exotic shapes. Contact Atlas to discuss your what
you are looking for and we can help you get the vacuum chamber you
want.
