Abstract :
Alumina vacuum chambers are being constructed for the rapid cycling synchrotron of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). The ceramic sections are butt jointed with a thin layer of glass to give strong, vacuum tight assemblies. This method of construction is considerably less expensive than metalized ceramic to metal jointed assemblies. A description is given of the principal ceramic chambers.
