Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a dense and chemically stable oxide film and to reduce the release of hydrogen from vacuum equipment by applying electric discharge cleaning to vacuum equipment made of stainless steel, introducing pure oxygen, and oxidizing the surface at the prescribed temp. CONSTITUTION:Electric discharge cleaning is applied to vacuum equipment made of stainless steel by using an electric discharge electrode previously provided to the inside of the equipment. Subsequently, pure oxygen of atmospheric pressure is introduced into this vacuum equipment, and heating is performed up to 200-400 deg.C to oxidize the surface, by which a dense and chemically stable oxide film can be formed. Owing to this film, the occurrence of surface contamination due to the adsorption of gases in the air and chemical bond can be inhibited, and further, the release of hydrogen from the vacuum equipment which becomes a problem at the time of evacuation can be reduced in an ultrahigh vacuum region, etc.
