Abstract
A convergent monolithic embedded ferromagnetic fluid seal structure is proposed and designed to improve the reliability of the seal under vacuum conditions. The capacity for self-healing and critical pressure were experimentally investigated for different axial sealing clearance, radial sealing clearance, number of radial teeth of the pole shoe, number of axial teeth of the pole shoe, and pole tooth height. The results show that when the axial or radial sealing gap is gradually increased to 0.4 mm, the self-healing performance of the convergent monolithic embedded ferromagnetic fluid seals shows the same pattern of enhancing and then weakening. As the number of radial teeth of the pole shoe increases, the self-healing performance of the convergent monolithic embedded ferromagnetic fluid seal first weakens and then strengthens before weakening. As the number of axial teeth in the pole shoe increases, the convergent monolithic embedded ferromagnetic fluid seal structure's ability to mend itself is initially strengthened and subsequently impaired. The self-healing performance of the convergent monolithic embedded ferromagnetic fluid seal structure increases with the increase in pole tooth height.
期刊介绍:
Vacuum is an international rapid publications journal with a focus on short communication. All papers are peer-reviewed, with the review process for short communication geared towards very fast turnaround times. The journal also published full research papers, thematic issues and selected papers from leading conferences.
A report in Vacuum should represent a major advance in an area that involves a controlled environment at pressures of one atmosphere or below.
The scope of the journal includes:
1. Vacuum; original developments in vacuum pumping and instrumentation, vacuum measurement, vacuum gas dynamics, gas-surface interactions, surface treatment for UHV applications and low outgassing, vacuum melting, sintering, and vacuum metrology. Technology and solutions for large-scale facilities (e.g., particle accelerators and fusion devices). New instrumentation ( e.g., detectors and electron microscopes).
2. Plasma science; advances in PVD, CVD, plasma-assisted CVD, ion sources, deposition processes and analysis.
3. Surface science; surface engineering, surface chemistry, surface analysis, crystal growth, ion-surface interactions and etching, nanometer-scale processing, surface modification.
4. Materials science; novel functional or structural materials. Metals, ceramics, and polymers. Experiments, simulations, and modelling for understanding structure-property relationships. Thin films and coatings. Nanostructures and ion implantation.
