Conventional technology and its problems Aluminum plates have recently been used as electrode plates for ion pumps, but in order to maintain a high degree of vacuum inside the ion pump container, it is necessary to reduce the vacuum level from the aluminum electrode plate inside the container. It is important to reduce the release of substances.

As is well known, aluminum is a metal that oxidizes very easily, and when it comes into contact with oxygen, an oxide film is formed on its outer surface. Furthermore, when aluminum is placed in an environment containing moisture such as water or moisture, a hydrated oxide film is formed on its outer surface. The higher the temperature of the hydrated oxide production reaction, the more remarkable the growth of the hydrated oxide film, and in a high temperature environment, a hydrated oxide film of boehmite or vialite is formed on the outer surface of aluminum. The quality of such a hydrated oxide film is much rougher and more porous than that of an aluminum oxide film formed in an environment where no moisture is present, and the pore morphology is also complicated. In addition, the film thickness is also thick.

By the way, a hydrated oxide film is generated on the outer surface of an aluminum profile formed by ordinary extrusion molding due to contact with the moisture-containing atmosphere during extrusion molding, and this hydrated oxide film is exposed to high temperatures during extrusion. For,
The formation reaction of the hydrated oxide film is promoted, resulting in a thick film. The film quality of this hydrated oxide film is as described above, and since it is a thick film, a large amount of water is adsorbed to the film. Moreover, because the film lacks consistency, moisture that remains in the atmosphere even after molding.
Vacuum degrading substances such as hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are adsorbed onto the coating. Since the hydrated oxide film is as described above, it is thought that such substances that lower the degree of vacuum are occluded in the film, and become a cause of inhibiting the improvement of the degree of vacuum. In addition, in order to increase the mechanical strength of the aluminum shape after extrusion, after heating at high temperature,
Hardening processes such as water cooling and air cooling, and heat treatment are performed, but during this process, the above-mentioned hydrated oxide film formed during extrusion grows further, and the vacuum degree-degrading substances that have already been adsorbed are incorporated into the film. The shape is as follows.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the method for manufacturing an extruded aluminum profile for vacuum use according to the present invention prevents the extruded profile from coming into contact with the atmosphere when extruding the aluminum profile. The method is characterized by forming such an atmosphere, extruding the shape into the atmosphere, and forming a honey oxide film on the outer surface of the shape due to the oxygen contained in the atmosphere.

First, the extrusion press is equipped with a sleeve that extends in the extrusion direction, and the sleeve contains 0.5~
This is a method in which a mixed gas consisting of 30% by volume, particularly 1 to 10% by volume, and the balance being an inert gas is supplied, and the surface of the shape being extruded is covered with this mixed gas. In addition,

In any of the above methods, the outer surface of the profile is prevented from coming into direct contact with the high temperature and moisture-containing atmosphere during extrusion molding, so the formation of a hydrated oxide film on the outer surface is prevented. do not have. And the first
In the first method, oxygen is present in the sleeve, and in the second method, oxygen is also present as an impurity, so a thin oxide film of honey is formed on the active aluminum outer surface. In the first method, the thickness of the oxide film is 20-30
Although a film thickness of approximately 1.5 Å can be obtained, the film thickness in the second method is naturally much thinner than this.
Therefore, if the shaped material is left in the atmosphere for a long time after extrusion, the oxide film will grow until it reaches an equilibrium state in the atmospheric environment, so that some of the honey oxide film will be A rough hydrated oxide film may be formed and both may coexist, resulting in a slight deterioration of vacuum performance. In such cases, the first method is preferred.

First, after caustic cleaning the dice 5,
Billet 2 of A6063 subjected to time homogenization treatment is extruded at an extrusion temperature of 500°C and an extrusion speed of 10 m/min. Do not use lubricant at this time. Immediately before the extrusion, a mixed gas 15 consisting of 7% by volume oxygen and the balance argon is ejected from the mixed gas container 12 through the conduit 13 from the mixed gas supply port 11 at a pressure of 2 to 3 kg/cm 2 and supplied into the sleeve 7. . Shape 14 still in the process of being formed and still hot
is in a mixed gas atmosphere 15 within the sleeve 7 and is thus kept out of contact with the atmosphere.
After extrusion molding, the shaped material 14 is forcedly air-cooled to 250°C,
Next, it is naturally cooled and then stretched and straightened. Next, aging treatment is performed at 180° C. for 6 hours in the same state.

A thin honey oxide film was formed on the outer surface of the extruded shape, and when this was degassed at 150°C for 24 hours and the degree of vacuum was measured, it was found to be 10 -13 Torr.
Outgassing coefficients of less than l/s.cm 2 were obtained. this is,
This is due to a phenomenon that could not have been predicted in the past. That is, this is based on the property that the oxide film on the surface acts as a vacuum pump that adsorbs residual gas inside the shape.

Effects of the invention When using extruded aluminum shapes produced by conventional methods, the reason why the degree of vacuum in the space where vacuum should be maintained decreases is that a hydrated oxide film is formed on the outer surface of the aluminum, and this water This is because the vacuum-degrading substances that are occluded in the Japanese oxide film are released into the space.According to the method for manufacturing a hollow extruded aluminum profile for vacuum use of the present invention, the aluminum profile is During extrusion molding, an atmosphere is created in which the shape during extrusion does not come into contact with the atmosphere, and the shape is extruded into this atmosphere, so there is no possibility that a problematic hydrated oxide film will form on the outer surface of the shape. Not generated.

On the other hand, due to the oxygen contained in the atmosphere, an oxide film is formed on the outer surface of the profile. Because the film quality of this oxide film is honey, there is significantly less adsorption and occlusion of vacuum deteriorating substances compared to a hydrated oxide film, and even if adsorption or occlusion occurs, it can be easily removed by degassing treatment. . Therefore, the amount of vacuum-lowering substances released is extremely small, and a high vacuum can be maintained.
