Abstract

The adaptation of high-frequency heating techniques to a vertical diffractometer will be discussed. The heating system functions as a. portion of an integrated system that provides a wide range of atmospheric and temperature control. Some of the design problems and their solutions and operating characteristics of the system will be described. The useful temperature range is from less than 200°C to greater than 1600°C, depending upon the fur-nace atmosphere and susceptors used. Gaseous pressures may be from vacuo of about 10−6 mm to about 30 psia; and, the sample may be heated in oxidizing, neutral, or reducing atmospheres.
