Equipment Features

The furnace consists of a graphite tube which serves as a muffle (within which boats are pushed) as well as a heating element (resistance heated by Scott connected transformer). The muffle is contiguous with a water jacketed cooling section. This furnace is normally operated in 100 % hydrogen atmosphere. Small to medium production runs can be achieved in this furnace design.
