Abstract:The application of non-evaporable getters is increasing, they have been widely used in sealed-off vacuum or controlled atmosphere devices. A new type of Ti-based sintered non-evaporable getter has been studied. The room temperature pumping speeds under three activation processes for H2 were measured as a function of sorbed gas quantities in this paper. At the same time, the optimal activation processes were discussed. The results indicate that the getter combines high porosity and large specific surface area which confirm good performances at room temperature. The threshold of activation temperature is about 500 ℃ and optimal pumping speed and pumping capacity can be achieved with activation temperature around 600℃ for 30 min. Besides, different configurations can be available in accordance with requirements.
