Definitions
- the invention is directed to a connecting element for gas-tight connection with a further component of a pipeline system and a method for its production.
- Typical flange systems are Conflat flanges (CF flanges) according to ISO / TS 3669-2: 2007. These flanges are designed for vacuum applications at temperatures up to 450 ° C. For pipelines for low temperatures (4 K), high temperatures (300 ° C) and / or high pressures (up to 500 bar) to typically 1 "(25.4 mm) diameter, eg VCR® connections with metallic sealing washers are used made of elastomer or plastic can not be used in these applications (low temperatures: no reliable sealing, high temperatures: destruction of the seal, high pressure: not stable enough, generally: gas permeability too high)
- Gas supplies are used metallic gaskets.
- Sealing materials made of copper, nickel and stainless steel are used as sealing material. In order to obtain the necessary strength in the area of the seal, flanges and
- flanges and tubes made of aluminum and aluminum alloys are advantageous.
- Aluminum is easily machinable, non-magnetic, can be extruded, has high thermal conductivity and is made by radioactive radiation only little activated.
- aluminum exits less than steel and less "pollutes" the vacuum.
- flanges are used which typically have a hard side made of stainless steel and for the most part consist of aluminum (US5836623). This system is difficult to manufacture (e.g.
- flanges made of aluminum which have a sealing surface which is hardened by means of ion implantation (DE29918170).
- the sealing surface can be coated with diamond-like carbon. Disadvantages of this method are high production costs, low wear resistance due to the small layer thickness, the low temperature stability of 150 ° C and the commonly used
- connection element described in claim 1 The object is achieved by the connection element described in claim 1 and by the method described in claim 13 for its preparation.
- Connecting element made of light metal or a light alloy is made of light metal or a light alloy.
- the light metal is aluminum or an aluminum alloy.
- connection is cheaper to produce.
- connection is a detachable connection.
- the connecting element is a flange.
- Gas-tight pipe flange connections are used in vacuum technology for many
- the flange according to the invention consists of an aluminum alloy with an aluminum content of at least 50%, preferably at least 60% and particularly preferably at least 80%. Flanges made of this material are simpler and thus less expensive to produce than their production, for example made of steel.
- Aluminum has a lower specific gravity than steel and is therefore easier to handle. In addition, it has a high thermal conductivity (important if the system is heated up to 200 ° C or a high heat transfer is beneficial).
- the outgassing rate under ultra-high vacuum conditions is also lower than that of steel, so the vacuum is less "contaminated".
- this coating is according to the invention a nickel-based coating. Coatings are nickel-based
- the coatings can be applied in different ways.
- the nickel-based coating has no ferromagnetic properties.
- This nickel coating can be one
- the nickel-based coating can be composed of several individual layers.
- the layers can be applied both galvanically and chemically and by the precise control of the
- Layer construction may have properties such as hardness, surface accuracy and
- Wear resistance can be varied specifically.
- the magnetic properties of the coating can be controlled in addition to the hardness. With increasing Phosphorus content decreases the hardness of the coating.
- a nickel-based coating with a phosphorus content of 5 wt.% Has a hardness of 600 HV 0, 1, with 13 wt.% Phosphor only a hardness of 500 HV 0, 1.
- the function of the coating is to increase the hardness in the region of the seal and thus the distribution of the sealing force over a larger area of the softer base material of the connecting element. Therefore, in a development of the invention, only the area of the sealing surface is coated. For reasons of production, however, a larger area can also be coated.
- the metallically hard coating has a layer thickness of at least 25 ⁇ m.
- the coating has a thickness of 30 ⁇ , particularly preferably a layer thickness of at least 50 ⁇ .
- the connecting element according to the invention has a high thermal stability. Ultra high vacuum aluminum systems are heated up to 200 ° C. The nickel-based coating is long-term stable under these temperatures. An interdiffusion or
- the connecting element according to the invention has a high mechanical
- Strength tensile strength Rm greater than 150 MPa, so that it does not deform under high heat.
- the strength of pure aluminum is typically about 70 MPa.
- the metallically hard layer can be applied to the connecting element according to the invention
- the metallic hard layer may also be applied by a pulse deposition method.
- the voltage is thereby pulsed, thereby the structure of the layer can be controlled within wide ranges and the hard layer can be adjusted to the desired values.
- the Happy-Plating-Rampart method ⁇ can also be used. In this
- Pulsabscheidevon complex layer systems can be applied.
- the layer thickness is applied evenly at the edges.
- Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a compound according to the invention of two flanges with pipe socket
- Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a flange according to the invention of a flange with pipe socket and a blind flange
- Figure 1 shows a pipe connection according to the invention from the side, which are interconnected by means of a union nut and screw.
- This compound is typically used for gas supplies and high purity gases (brand name VCR ⁇ Swagelock).
- the pipe diameter is up to 1 "(25.4 mm), and larger pipe diameters can be achieved with other union connectors or other flanges.
- the main body of the flange with pipe socket 1, 1 ' consists of an aluminum alloy, e.g. AW-6060th This alloy is widely used in these applications, it is very weldable with a tensile strength of 240 N / mm2.
- the sealing disc 3 is made of aluminum or copper. Their thickness depends on the diameter 1 to 2 mm.
- the nickel-based coating 2, 2 ' is applied to the areas that are in contact with the seal.
- the coating has a thickness of 50 to 60 ⁇ and is applied with the Happy-Plating-Rampart method ⁇ . This results in a multicrystalline layer with a hardness of 500 HV 0.1.
- the tubes may be coated completely or over a wider area, which may provide additional protection against corrosion.
- FIG. 2 shows the connection surface of a connecting element 1 according to the invention for connection to further components 1 ', 5 of a pipeline system.
- the coating 2 extends only over the contact area, which comes into contact with a seal 3.
- the Ni-base alloy coating 2 is made by the Happy-Plating-Rampart method
- Figure 3 shows a flange connection according to the invention in cross section, as used in ultra high vacuum applications (pressures less than 10-9 mbar) is used.
- the flange 1 with a pipe socket consists of the aluminum alloy 6082-T6 with a tensile strength of more than 300 N / mm2. Flange and pipe socket can be made in one piece or welded together.
- the pipe socket has a sealing edge for metal seals (according to ISO 3669-2).
- the flange 5 is designed in this embodiment as a blind flange.
- the metal seal 3 typically consists of oxygen-free copper with a hardness of about 65 HB or soft annealed copper (about 45 HB). Aluminum seals are rarely used.
- the flanges 1 and 5 are provided with a nickel-based coating at least in the region of the cutting edge.
- the coating in this embodiment has a phosphorus content of greater than 9% and is therefore not ferromagnetic.
- the coating can be applied only in the region of the cutting edge to further reduce the magnetic influences.
- the coating is then annular with a width of about 4 mm.
- the nickel-based coating has a thickness of 50 to 100 ⁇ and was applied by the Happy-Plating-Rampart method ⁇ .
- the hardness is 500 HV 0, 1.
- the coating is free of stress and pores and seals reliably even at high temperatures of up to 200 ° C.
