What is ZR Getter?
ZR Getter, or Zirconium Getter, is a high-performance material used to eliminate residual gases in vacuum systems. By reacting with gases like oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and CO/CO₂, it helps maintain clean and stable vacuum environments crucial to sensitive electronic and industrial systems.
Composition and Working Mechanism
ZR Getter is typically made from pure zirconium or zirconium-based alloys. When activated—usually by heat—it binds permanently with reactive gases. This chemical absorption process removes contaminants and preserves the integrity of vacuum-dependent components.
Common Applications of ZR Getter
1. Vacuum Tubes and Electronic Devices
ZR Getter ensures optimal vacuum in CRTs, photomultiplier tubes, and other electronics by removing gases that affect performance.
2. Semiconductor Manufacturing
Used to trap trace gases and prevent contamination during chip fabrication, improving yield and product reliability.
3. Aerospace and Satellites
In spacecraft and satellites, ZR Getter stabilizes vacuum conditions in critical systems like sensors and propulsion units.
4. Nuclear and Fusion Reactors
It absorbs hydrogen isotopes, minimizing safety risks and maintaining purity in high-energy environments.
5. Cryogenic and Gas Storage
ZR Getter helps keep gases like helium and hydrogen pure during storage by removing reactive contaminants.
Key Benefits of ZR Getter
High Efficiency in removing multiple gases
Extended Lifespan with long-lasting activation
Versatile Use across various high-tech industries
Stable Performance in ultra-high vacuum conditions
ZR Getter is an essential solution for industries requiring pristine environments, from electronics to space and nuclear technology.
