ACP5080RS
ACP 5080(R)S for Vacuum Chamber Applications On the base of EN AW 5083 aluminum cast alloy, alimex developed a top quality cast material for the most challenging and critical applications of innovative, high-end industries like the Electronics, Semiconductor, Solar and Display Panel industry. Through decades of practical application experience, continuous material research, development and testing, ACP 5080(R)S provide good mechanical and physical properties as compared with similar competitors’ cast and rolled aluminum plates. Material excellence and superiority is achieved through the proprietary smelting, manufacturing, processing and handling procedures and specifications employed in the production of this grade. 2 ACP 5080(R)S for Vacuum Chamber Applications Special features ? Especially homogenized ? Stress relieved ? Ultrasonic tested ? Reduced micro-porosity ? Tested by: ? Fraunhofer Institut für Chemische Technologie ? Forschungszentrum Julich (Outgasing test and Helium leak test) 3 ACP 5080(R)S Outgassing Test Description of the test: Residual gas and outgassing measurements were performed on 3 casted aluminum plates (ACP 5080S). Before measurements were made, the specimens were subjected to a cleaning procedure according to FZJ-COSY specifications (10 min ultrasonic cleaning at 60 °C in hydrocarbon-free, alkaline washing solution pH 8.5 – 9.0). The investigations were performed on two specimen at room temperature, and for one specimen the temperature was increased to 160 °C for 12 h during the measuring process. The curve of the partial pressure against time was recorded for selected atomic masses (AMU). At the beginning and end of these trend measurements, analogue measurements were recorded for the entire measuring range (AMU 1 –200). For measurement results please take a look at the attached Outgassing Test. 4 ACP 5080(R)S Helium Leak Test Description of the test: On 5 plates casted from aluminum (ACP 5080S), long-term measurements of the helium-permeability, according to the local vacuum method (DIN EN 1779 – A3), were carried out. A possible He-leakage should be measured for 24 hours testing time. Subsequently all testing parts are connected separately to the intake flange of the leak-detectorand sealed with aluminum gaskets ?Ultra-Dichtring“ from LEYBOLD (see draft, schematic test assembly, attachment 1, fig 1 u. 2). From the inner diameter of the sealing ring a measuring area of A = 822 mm2 x π/4 = 5278 mm2 is calculated. All objects were cleaned with alcohol before testing. The measurements were carried out at a differential test pressure of ?p = 1 bar and room temperature (~25°C). For measurement results please take a look at the attached Helium Leak Test. |
