Manually changed current from 500 to 615 A, monitoring the temperature. Temperature went from 1657 C up to 1838 C. Pressure increased up to 7.2e-7 T.
Samples should be left for about 4 hours (615 A started just before 13:00), then the goal is to ramp current back to zero. |

It was found that after the last process, Evap#2 has broken insulators - the cylinder insulator that supports the target centre legs and the block
insulator that supports the terminals. |
