Abstract:
The Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) is an aluminum alloy vacuum system with 518.4 m circumference divided into 24 sections. A6061T6 aluminum alloy material is used for TPS bending chambers. Each aluminum bending chamber is component of 2 half plate s, about 3.5~4.2 m in length and~0.6 m in width, were oil-free CNC machined, ozone cleaned, and TIG welding in clean room. The deformation < 0.1 mm and leakage rate < 2x10-9mbar.L/s for each welded bending chamber has inspected and achieved. A bending chamber is inspecting the thermal outgassing rate test and ultimate pressure. The manufacturing and vacuum test will be described in this paper.
