Atlas Aluminum Vacuum Chamber Configurations 4
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 ultra high 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.
There are five basic aluminum chamber configurations to choose from. Select the configuration that fits your need.
Atlas, industry leaders in aluminum vacuum technology, offers full engineering support, FEA services and solid
modeling design that capitalize upon the exceptional physical and vacuum properties of aluminum. Atlas will help
you get the most out of aluminum. Since we already do — let us help you think in aluminum.

Atlas Company Information
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.
