    摘要: There is disclosed a method of placing a substrate into a controlled conductivity plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) bath configured for the substrate; wherein the PEO bath includes a nitrogen containing organic compound, and applying a voltage for a period of time to produce a substantially continuous nitride or nitrogen compound containing PEO layer of between about 1 to about 100 microns thick on the substrate. The substrates are preferably magnesium, titanium, or aluminium. The PEO process is preferably carried out under alkaline conditions and at voltages of less than about 160 volts.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method of treating a surface of an aluminum material, the method including: degreasing an aluminum material; etching the degreased aluminum material; performing a first desmutting treatment by immersing the etched aluminum material in a 25-35 wt % nitric acid solution at a temperature in a range of 25 to 30° C. for at least 60 seconds; performing a second desmutting treatment by immersing the first desmutting-treated aluminum material in a 5-15 wt % nitric acid solution at a temperature in a range of 25 to 30° C. for a time in a range of 30 seconds to 60 seconds; anodizing the second desmutting-treated aluminum material; coloring the anodized aluminum material; and sealing the colored aluminum material.

    摘要: Described herein is a method of manufacturing an aluminium alloy plate for vacuum chamber elements, valves, or total assemblies, the method comprising the steps of: (a) providing a rolling feedstock material of an Al—Mg—Si aluminium alloy having a composition comprising of, in wt. %, Mg 0.80%-1.05%, Si 0.70%-1.0%, Mn 0.70%-0.90%, Fe up to 0.20%, Zn up to 0.08%, Cu up to 0.05%, Cr up to 0.03%, Ti up to 0.06%, unavoidable impurities and balance aluminium; (b) homogenizing of the rolling feedstock at a temperature in a range of 550-595° C.; (c) hot-rolling of the homogenized rolling feedstock in one or more rolling steps to a hot-rolled plate having a thickness of at least 10 mm; (d) solution heat-treatment (SHT″) of the hot rolled plate at a temperature in a range of 540-590° C.; (e) rapid cooling the SHT plate; (f) stretching of the cooled SHT plate to obtain a permanent elongation from 1-5%; (g) artificial ageing of the stretched plate.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method of processing of materials using a moving interface, the method comprising: providing a working material, the working material comprising a substrate with a metallic film on at least one side of the substrate; providing an energy source adjacent to the working material, where the energy source is electrical current between a cathode and the working material as an anode; providing for relative controlled movement between the working material and the energy source, where the relative controlled movement is a motor attached to the working material via a linkage; activating the energy source such that the energy processes the working material; moving the energy source and/or the working material relative to the other to control the amount of processing of the working material achieved by the energy, where the processing of the working material is anodization; immersing the working material at a controlled speed into an anodizing bath equipped with a cathode; starting anodization of the metallic film at the edge of the metallic film furthest from the anode connection and just below the anodization bath, and immersing the working material into the bath such that the anodization is moved up the metallic film towards the edge nearest the anode connection, resulting in a complete conversion to oxide, except for a non-anodized small metal or conductive edge where the anode voltage is connected to the workpiece.

    摘要: A consumable part for a plasma processing chamber includes a plasma facing side. An engineered surface is formed into the plasma facing side of the consumable part. A plurality of raised features defines the engineered surface, wherein features are arranged in a predefined pattern, wherein each of the plurality of raised features includes a top region having an outer edge and a sidewall. A base surface of the engineered surface is configured to surround each of the plurality of raised features, such that a corresponding sidewall of a corresponding raised feature extends up at an angle from the base surface to a corresponding top region. The consumable part is configured to be installed in the plasma processing chamber. The consumable part is configured to be exposed to a plasma and byproducts of the plasma.
