DESIGN OF A NEW SET-UP AT CEA SACLAY FOR VERTICAL ELECTRO-POLISHING (VEP) F. Eozénou - F. Eozénou - TTC Meeting WG4 Fermilab
OUTLINE • CONTEXT • TECHNICAL CHOICES FOR VERTICAL EP SET-UP • CHALLENGES AND R&D RELATED TASKS - F. Eozénou - TTC Meeting WG4 Fermilab
CONTEXT - F. Eozénou - TTC Meeting WG4 Fermilab
HIGH PERFORMANCE SURFACE TREATMENT REQUIRED FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF CAVITIES • ILC Hi-Grade Program 8 Tesla Shape cavities to be treated (final step) and tested at Saclay: Final VEP + Rinsing + Test • Surface treatment for large proton cavity Ø382mm L>1430mm 1,76 m288L (Tesla: Ø=211mm L=1283mm) β = 1 cavity Eacc = 25 MV/m Need for an efficient surface treatment→ Choice for Electro - Polishing + (optionnal) EP for β = 0.65 cavity Eacc = 19 MV/m - F. Eozénou - TTC Meeting WG4 Fermilab
WHY VERTICAL EP? • EP PROMISING FOR HIGH GRADIENTS • HORIZONTAL EP NON SUITED FOR LARGE CAVITIES • SIMPLER PROCESS • EFFICIENCY OF VERTICAL EP DEMONSTRATED FOR TESLA-SHAPE 9CELL CAVITIES (CORNELL UNIVERSITY). + see Presentation by G. Hoffstaetter and Z. Conway VEP Parameters must be considered carrefully… • ILC-CAVITY EP PARAMETERS NON SUITED TO SPL CAVITIES? • CAVITY FULL OF ACID (Vs HALF-FILLED for horizontal EP) • SUPERFICY OF THE CAVITY x2 • ~15 kW TO DISSIPATE? (17V) - F. Eozénou - TTC Meeting WG4 Fermilab
BENEFITS FROM PREVIOUS CARE SRF PROGRAM ALTERNATIVE EP PARAMETERS TESTED: WP 5.1 EP ON 1-CELLS • EP @ LOWER VOLTAGE (5V) INVESTIGATED • NO HEATING OF THE BATH • GOOD RF PERFORMANCE • LESS IMPURITIES Pristine 1C21 after 150 µm EP 5V Vs 17V on 1DE1 COMPARABLE RESULTS WITH 5V ELECTRO-POLISHING - F. Eozénou - TTC Meeting WG4 Fermilab
+ LESS IMPURITIES AT LOWER VOLTAGE Presented at TTC 2008 & SRF 2009 Does a cathodic overpotential leads to an increased sulfur generation? →Two Niobium samples electro-polished at 5V and 20V for a similar heavy removal with 1-9-1 (HF-H2SO4-H2O) Mixture Sample A, 20 Volts: 9.18g removed Sample B, 5 Volts: 9.11g removed Visible contamination for Sample A → We have compared impurities found in electrolytes A & B ~ X2 Impurities in A Mixture - F.

FLUID DYNAMICS MODELLING WITH COMSOL • Makes it possible to combine matter flux (diffusion) and fluid dynamics Previous study (SRF 2007) → improvement by cathode shape modification Fluid Velocity Acid (HF) concentration Improved modelling by using 2D Axi-symmetry • Thermal modelling with CFDesign investigated at JLab (C. Reece et al., SRF 2009) - F. Eozénou - TTC Meeting WG4 Fermilab
PARAMETERS TO BE INVESTIGATED • FLUID VELOCITY • TEMPERATURE • CHEMICALS CONCENTRATION • POTENTIAL DISTRIBUTION • DESIGN OF THE CATHODE • STUDY OF THE Nb REMOVAL (NEED TO SWITCH THE CAVITY?) • ROUGHNESS ACHIEVED • Etc. - F. Eozénou - TTC Meeting WG4 Fermilab
