CANCELLED - Additive Friction Stir Deposition (AFSD) of Al6061 for Vacuum Chamber Fabrication

Additive Friction Stir Deposition (AFSD) is a solid-state additive manufacturing process that can be used to produce near-net-shape Al6061 components. Al6061 is a lightweight and strong aluminum alloy that is commonly used in aerospace applications. It is also well-suited for vacuum chamber fabrication due to its high corrosion resistance and low outgassing.

AFSD has several advantages over forging for the production of vacuum chambers. AFSD can produce components with complex geometries and features that are difficult to achieve using forging. AFSD can also produce components with a wider range of sizes and thicknesses than forging. Additionally, AFSD is a relatively fast and efficient process, which can reduce the time and cost of vacuum chamber fabrication.

This presentation will discuss the use of AFSD to produce Al6061 vacuum chambers for silicon chip manufacturing. The presentation will begin with an overview of the AFSD process and its advantages for vacuum chamber fabrication. The presentation will then discuss the design and manufacturing of AFSD-produced vacuum chambers. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of the benefits of using AFSD to produce vacuum chambers for silicon chip manufacturing.

Audience Takeaway:

The audience will learn about the following:

• The AFSD process and its advantages for vacuum chamber fabrication.
• The design and manufacturing of AFSD-produced vacuum chambers.
• The benefits of using AFSD to produce vacuum chambers for silicon chip manufacturing.

This presentation will be of interest to engineers, designers, and other professionals who are interested in using AFSD to produce vacuum chambers for silicon chip manufacturing.
