A HIGH TEMPERATURE X-RAY DIFFRACTOMETER SPECIMEN HOLDER.
Abstract
A high temperature furnace for use on a horizontal diffractometer was designed and constructed. It can heat samples to 2250C in vacuum or 1790C in air for sustained periods without restricting the normal operation of the diffractometer. Mechanical adjustments compensate for the unknown thermal expansion of the internal parts of the furnace and a rotating mechanism reduces the effect of grain growth and recrystallization by improving particle statistics in the X-ray beam. By simple adjustments the furnace can be used on the Picker, Rigaku-Denki, and Siemens diffractometers. A rather extensive 'state-of-theart' bibliography is included. (Author)
