Oxygen-free copper alloys can be easily machined and have high corrosion resistance. With their exceptional thermal conductivity, copper chambers can be water-cooled for use in high-temperature applications.

Copper chambers are non-magnetic and are often used in RF applications. Copper has excellent electrical characteristics and can handle high heat loads when sufficiently cooled, making it a great choice for accelerators.

With its good formability, copper can be machined, extruded, brazed, welded, or soldered.

Atlas manufactures bimetallic Copper/Stainless CF Flanges which have a stainless steel sealing face on a copper body. The stainless face matches the coefficient of thermal expansion of other stainless flanges, while the copper body allows for welding to a copper chamber. For completely non-magnetic applications, copper-to-copper vacuum seals can be made with specialty flanges or hardened copper alloys.
