High-Performance Vacuum Solutions: Advanced Materials for Reliable and Efficient Aerospace Systems 

Reference TD-IT-1003

TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION

Sintered porous material specifically designed to absorb and trap residual gases in vacuum systems. These are produced through a sintering process, which involves compacting and heating powdered materials to create a porous structure. The porosity of the material is crucial as it allows for a large surface area to interact with and absorb gases. The mass can be sintered around an internal heater that allows an easy and reproducible passage of electrical current for activation. The heater leads can act as suitable supports to hold the material in place. Innovative Aspects: 

• Enhanced Gas Absorption 

• Customizable Formats 

APPLICATION AREAS

Travelling wave tubes, spacecraft and satellites, semiconductor manufacturing, medical devices
