Brazing for the CLIC Capabilities
A large capability in brazing From mass production parts brazed in continuous furnace To single and complex parts brazed in vacuum furnace
Brazing for the CLIC Know-how and brazed assemblies
1st step: Development of vacuum brazing and diffusion bonding of copper disks
Vacuum brazing in several cycles Multi – step brazing
Vacuum brazing of parts with complex shapes
Super-accelerating structures assemblied by brazing and EBW Cooling circuit Vacuum flange RF flange Manifold Interconnection flange RF waveguide Accelerating structure Super-accelerating structure Target sphere
Accelerating structure A lot of parts brazed step by step
Super-accelerating structures The first brazed meter
The begining of the great adventure for the Cern
Conclusion Heat treatment, Metal joining, HIP and Surface Technology are a vital link of CLIC components manufacturing.
