Analysis of O-Ring damage

PLASMA DEGRADATION

■Description

The seal discolors, with erosion damage and residual powder left on the surface.

Contributing factors

■Chemical ion and electron bombardment

  • Proper design of the groove

  • The seal and process are not compatible with the chemical properties

■Recommended improving method

  • Adopt the seal can resist the ions and electrons

  • Check the groove design to resist the bombardment of ions and electrons

  • Adopt the product can resist certain chemical properties
