Titanium UHV Sealing for Aluminum Chambers
The Atlas Bimetal Ti/Al CF Flange with aluminum flange body bonded to rugged titanium uses the time-tested reliability of the ConFlat® (CF) knife-edge seal. After welding the CFTA™ flange to an aluminum vacuum chamber, it becomes a completely non-magnetic UHV chamber. This supports applications where high magnetic permeability is detrimental to beam quality or experimental results.
Non-magnetic aluminum vacuum chambers are used for UHV synchrotron, particle physics, and industrial applications where high magnetic permeability is detrimental to beam quality or experimental results. Such applications include non-magnetic beam tubes, wigglers, undulators, free electron lasers (FEL), drift tubes, and spectrometers.
Applications:
- UHV synchrotron
- Particle physics
- Semiconductor fabrication
- Industrial applications
- XHV quantum physics
- Beam tubes
- Wigglers and undulators
- Free electron lasers (FEL)
- Drift tubes
- Spectrometers
Low Z, Low Nuclear: Atlas titanium-aluminum flanges enable aluminum UHV systems to be used in demanding nuclear applications requiring a low z environment.
- Cyclotrons
- Nuclear reactors
- Medical imaging
Light/Low Weight: With weight-to-volume ratios 1/3 that of stainless vacuum chambers, an aluminum chamber with Ti/Al flanges significantly reduces overall weight:
- Aerospace
- Portable systems
