 Wednesday, November 06, 2013, 17:36, John Wong, TaC, Target Boat #2, , In progress, Testing TaC matrix coating
|
The purpose of this experiment is to improve the TaC coating mixed with other metals as additives. The coating solution will be sprayed on Ta metal
(0.015" thick, same thickness as the target container).
The samples will be sintered at ~ 1800C. Once the process is completed, a graphite tube will be inserted into the tube, and then re-heated |
