Hermetically bonded bimetal components: one flange, four tube and pipe transitions and a copper cryogenic water jacket.

DISSIMILAR METAL PRODUCTS

Atlas dissimilar metal bonds are mechanically robust, totally hermetic, and remain ductile in pyrolytic or cryogenic temperatures. With solid-state explosion bonding, diffusion bonding, and roll bonding, a huge variety of metals can be joined and can then be further machined and welded to adjacent metals.


The bonds are so strong and reliable, they are used in Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) and Extreme High Vacuum (XHV) applications for the semiconductor, chemical processing, cryogenics, aerospace, and particle physics industries where even infinitesimal porosity or leakage is intolerable.

CUSTOM VACUUM CHAMBERS

We thoroughly understand the vacuum and manufacturing subtleties in making aluminum, titanium and copper chambers. We are eager to assist you in applying this knowledge toward your specific application. Our passion for materials will help you obtain the performance you are looking for.


Because of our dissimilar metal bonding experience, we approach vacuum material usage with an open mind. We are able to circumvent many welding or joining issues and can apply a wide variety of materials and material conditions precisely where they are needed.

Written by: Richard Bothell and Justin Bothell, Atlas Technologies; Glen Tisdale, Judith Offerle, UHV Aluminum Company Achieving sub-micron feature sizes on a production basis requires an understanding of the complete processing environment including the vacuum reactor itself. Molecular level chemical contamination demands that all processes factor in the vacuum environment. The vacuum system base pressures are a critical parameter in determining the environmental contribution to wafer contamination. Actual processing levels may be decades above the base pressure, but the base pressure establishes the environmental noise of the system.
