Atlas — the aluminum revolution
The Aluminum vacuum revolution has started — In a remote corner of Washington State, in the rain shadow of
the Olympic Peninsula, nestled along Puget Sound, Atlas Technologies has been driven to think beyond the convention of stainless steel.
First with the invention of the robust all-metal-seal Atlas CF flange and the Atlas ATCR fitting, Atlas made aluminum high and ultrahigh vacuum possible. Next, Atlas took on welding and surface preparation challenges. Now
with Atlas’ advanced UHV grade aluminum welds and surface oxide densification technology Atlas’ aluminum
vacuum chambers can easily outperform stainless chambers in any vacuum regime at a lower cost. It is time to
say goodbye to stainless steel and think in aluminum.
Lower cost? Yes, the larger the chamber the better. Aluminum is half the price of stainless, machines 5 times
faster and is 1/3 the weight. It also has lower outgassing and diffusion rates than stainless steel. This means
better vacuum at lower prices when you think in aluminum.
“We worked with Atlas Technologies to build
a series of X and Y-shaped aluminum bending
magnet vacuum chambers for an electron
cooling system, which cools relativistic

antiprotons at Fermilab. These UHV chambers enable the introduction of electrons to
the antiproton beam and the extraction of
the electrons from the beam after cooling.
In electron cooling, beams of electrons and
antiprotons circulate together at the same
speed. The “colder” electrons interact with
the “hotter” antiprotons and cool the beam of
antiprotons in the same way that hot gas is
cooled when it is mixed with cold gas. Fermilab was the first lab to demonstrate e-cooling
at high energies, operating the electron beam
at 4.3 MeV. Atlas made the chambers in two
halves machined from thick plates of aluminum. Then they welded them together and
attached Atlas CF flanges to the legs. All the
chambers have performed very well, met our
specifications and they were beautiful!”
