Atlas Socket Weld, Butt Weld, Male Weld, and Chamber Mount ATCR™ face-seal fittings are fitted with a durable stainless steel sealing face that is explosion welded (EXW) to an aluminum body. The bond produced is extremely rugged. All face-seal fittings are helium leak tested for service in UHV environments in excess of 1×10-9 Torr. Atlas ATCR™ fittings enable robust, demountable use of aluminum tubing in cryogenic, physics, and semiconductor applications worldwide. Standard Socket, Butt, Male and Chamber Mount geometries are available in 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4 and 1 inch tube diameters. Chamber Mount fittings are available in four length configurations suitable for 1/2, 3/4, 1 and 1-1/4 inch chamber wall thicknesses.
Atlas ATCR™ fittings are fully compatible with Swagelok VCR® and Parker-Hannifin VacuSeal® fittings. Unlike these other fittings, however, Atlas ATCR™ fittings are used where high thermal conductivity and high chemical resistance is needed or where any of the advantageous physical properties of aluminum are required.
Atlas bimetallic ATCR™ fittings: the aluminum tube fitting with a stainless steel face-seal that makes UHV aluminum vacuum systems a reality.

Aluminum’s Extreme Vacuum Performance
Aluminum’s Extreme Vacuum Performance Any single physical or chemical property of aluminum may be enough reason to select aluminum as a vacuum chamber choice over stainless steel. But when looked at in summary, aluminum overwhelmingly surpasses stainless steel as providing the lowest cost of ownership. Aluminum has seven orders of magnitude less hydrogen than stainless … Continued
