Abstract:
A sorption pump working according to the principle of mechanical activation of reactive getter materials at ambient temperature is presented. Pumps of the given type allow maintaining vacuum in different devices and apparatuses by sorption of any active gases with a controllable rate.
Abstract:
Plate-shaped composite getter materials for the sorption of gases containing two interpenetrating constituents, a reinforcing component of skeletal framework and a reactive matrix, which form a coherent monolithic structure, a method for producing such composites, and their application in vacuum technology or gas purification are described. A synthetic getter composite of the classical type in the form of a thin monolithic plate with two constituents, a reinforcing framework embedded in a reactive matrix, has been developed. Metallic gauze made of high-melting transitional metals or their alloys is used as a reinforcing constituent and a reactive metal or alloy with a high concentration of this metal is used as the reactive matrix.
Abstract:
A method for preparation of a getter material on the basis of intermetallic compounds of barium is described. The method comprises preparing a melt of a ternary mixture containing barium, metal and sodium; directionally solidifying the melt to produce a textured ingot; granulating the textured ingot, thereby obtaining granules having open-ended voids extending therethrough; and evaporating the sodium from the granules by applying a thermovacuum treatment to the granules. The textured ingot comprises a getter body made of intermetallic compounds of barium; and open-ended voids within the getter body.
