The interaction of O(plus) ions with the interior surface of a copper chamber

Modulated beams of 0(+), Ar(+), and Kr(+) in the 100-300 eV range are directed into a copper box simulating the ante-chamber of an orbiting mass spectrometer. An RF quadrupole mass spectrometer and phase sensitive detection extract the component of the internal mass spectrum correlated with the beam. Intense Ar and Kr signals are observed; however, no O or O2 is detectable, indicating loss of the primary O(+) beam to surface interactions. All four primary ions stimulate sizeable signals at masses 26 and 28. The relevance of these experiments to the interpretation of mass spectra obtained by orbiting satellites is discussed.

Machining of low percentage beryllium copper alloys

Airborne beryllium sampling during machining of low percentage beryllium-copper alloys shows that normal dry machining creates 45.2 microgram/cu m of airborne beryllium in the casting operators breathing zone and 2.3 microgram/cu m in an adjacent machine working area. A small vacuum system placed over the tool effectively removes airborne beryllium in the breathing zone sample to 0.2 microgram/cu m.
