High Temperature X-Ray Diffraction Camera

Abstract

A high‐temperature x‐ray powder diffraction camera has been designed and constructed. The design specifications were as follows: (1) to permit operation at temperatures up to at least 2000°C, in a high vacuum, (2) to be able to work in controlled atmosphere at somewhat lower temperatures, and (3) to permit successive exposures of the specimen held at temperature. The completed apparatus appears to meet these requirements.
