Advantages of Aluminum Vacuum Systems Discussion:
Aluminum offers many advantages over stainless steel as a chamber vacuum material.
For example aluminum has:
• 7 Orders of magnitude less hydrogen than stainless steel (SS)
• 10x thermal conductivity of SS
• Non magnetic...
• 1/3 the weight of SS
• Low Z
• Low bake temperature
• Low thermal emissivity
• And many other advantages...
Jed Bothell of Atlas Technologies will discuss the high, ultra and extreme high vacuum properties of aluminum vacuum systems. The talk will also cover design, manufacturing technology and methods to successfully take advantage of the many great vacuum properties of aluminum.
