machining of ultra-high vacuum (UHV) components and assemblies
General specifications
Accordingly, each one of the machining requirements for UHV conditions must be met:
Inorganic cutting fluids
Viscous organic lubricants must not be used.
Clean machines
Cleaning and replacement of the cutting fluid after each change of material to be machined for UHV items.
special tools
New, special tools for each new material. Cleaning is essential and important throughout the entire process.
It is necessary to clean the elements before, during and after each manufacturing process, taking great pains to ensure there is no cross contamination between “clean” and “dirty” components.
Materials:
All materials used must be compatible with UHV, such as:
STAINLESS STEEL
AISI 304L, 304LN, 316L, 316LN, 321, 347
ALUMINIUM
5086, A-6061-T6, A-6063-T6
PEEK
COPPER
