This procedure describes the process required to specify or request a specific material in Pocket 5 (other than the default, Ag) for the Electron-Beam Evaporation System #2 (PVD-75). See the Confluence Equipment page for the tool for the list of approved materials. In order to ensure that there is sufficient time to restore the default material, you must complete your session at least 30 minutes before the end of regular business hours (typically 5:00 pm).
