Abstract
A method is described for making LiF constructions involving LiF-LiF and LiF-metal seals which are vacuum tight over a wide temperature range. As an application, rectangular LiF (001) surfaces have been assembled to form a flat channel which is connected to a copper vacuum flange. LiF machining was done using an ultrasonic technique. Mixtures of LiF and PbF2 were used as sealing agents throughout. The entire construction has been proved vacuum tight in the temperature range 78 K to 700 K.
