Refractory metal fasteners

Components in vacuum can sometimes be close to sources of heat, particularly when they are close to the sample stage. In such cases it is often necessary to use small screws, nuts and washers made from refractory materials such as molybdenum or tantalum. These materials have a very low vapour pressure at elevated temperature, even in a vacuum environment.
