What are the advantages of machinable ceramic quadrupole rods in mass spectrometers

The advantage of Macor ceramic quadrupole in mass spectrometers is mainly due to its excellent physical and chemical properties, which make Macor ceramic materials an indispensable component in mass spectrometers.

Macor ceramic material is a high-performance engineering ceramic material composed of two main components: fluorite mica and borosilicate glass, with the characteristics of "0 porosity" and "0 gas release rate". This material was originally designed for NASA's space shuttle to prevent heat transfer from the exterior to the interior of the spacecraft, demonstrating its excellent electrical and thermal insulation properties. Macor ceramic materials have strong radiation resistance, zero porosity, and do not emit any type of vapor (toxic or otherwise), making them very suitable for use in the aerospace industry in such special environments. In addition, it is stable at 1000 ° C in air and 600 ° C in vacuum, and fluoride precipitation occurs above 600 ° C (in vacuum), manifested as boron trifluoride or hydrofluoric acid. However, these characteristics make it an excellent material for high vacuum applications because it will not degas at any achievable vacuum level when properly baked.

The quadrupole component made of Macor ceramic material is used in ultra-high vacuum environments, with high machining accuracy requirements, and the precision of key parts can reach 0.001mm. This material has good processing characteristics and belongs to the category of "machinable ceramics", so it can meet the high requirements of mass spectrometer for component accuracy and performance. Due to the excellent properties of Macor ceramic materials, it has become an indispensable component in mass spectrometers, used in key components such as ion traps, ensuring stable operation and high-quality data acquisition in ultra-high vacuum environments.

Overall, the advantages of Macor ceramic quadrupole in mass spectrometers mainly stem from its excellent physical and chemical properties, including radiation resistance, stability, processing performance, etc. These characteristics make Macor ceramic materials an ideal choice for key components in mass spectrometers.返回搜狐,查看更多
