Technical documentation for 0.2% BeCu alloy technology achieving low gas emissions and low temperature.
A vacuum structural material that breaks conventional wisdom: 0.2% BeCu alloy. Achieving low gas emission and low temperature! A substitute for stainless steel.
When it comes to vacuum structural materials, stainless steel and titanium are common, but they have a very high absorption rate for thermal radiation (from infrared to visible light) and are metals that do not conduct heat well. As a result, once heat is absorbed, it does not easily escape, causing the temperature of vacuum chambers and flanges to rise, which leads to a significant increase in gas release. Beryllium copper, on the other hand, has an extremely high thermal conductivity and a low thermal emissivity, which prevents it from reaching high temperatures and greatly reduces gas release. Additionally, by incorporating beryllium, it becomes harder, allowing for the use of copper gaskets, making it a suitable material for use in ultra-high vacuum conditions.

When it comes to vacuum structural materials, stainless steel and titanium are common, but they have a very high absorption rate for thermal radiation (from infrared to visible light) and are metals that do not conduct heat well. As a result, once heat is absorbed, it does not easily dissipate, leading to an increase in temperature of vacuum chambers and flanges, which in turn causes a significant problem of gas release. Beryllium copper, on the other hand, has an extremely high thermal conductivity and a low thermal emissivity, which prevents it from becoming too hot and greatly reduces gas release. Additionally, by incorporating beryllium, it becomes harder, allowing for the use of copper gaskets, making it a suitable material for use in ultra-high vacuum conditions.
