The Manufacture of 3 types of Copper-Chromium-Zirconium (CuCrZr) Hypervapotron elements (56 total across all types). The Hypervapotron body, backplate and stub assemblies all feature continuous 3mm EB welds. EB weld backing pieces are inserted to ensure there is always a backing surface for the EB weld. The mounting bosses will be EB welded to be backplate through their flanges. The pipe stub assemblies use a nickel transition piece which is EB welded to the CuCrZr stub. This is TIG welded to a stainless steel stub which can later be joined to the inlet and outlet pipework.
A further 18 water cooled dumps (OFHC Copper and CuCrCr) are included which feature vacuum brazed 10mm OD copper pipework or internal channel with brazed inlet and outlet pipes. Features are included for laying brazer filler and clamping the pipes down during the vacuum brazing process.
