The purpose of this experiment is to determined the limiting operating temperature for Beta-SiC.  To do so, samples will be heated in sequence
to observe any volatile Si coated on the window.  The coating is observed above 1400C for the conventional SiC (mixuture of alpha and beta) and this
coating leads to HV shorting problem.

Entry  Monday, June 09, 2014, 13:56, Cameron Hodgins, , , TARGET BOAT, In progress, Sintering several carbides on tantalum foil backing 
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 discovered this morning that the Evaporator #2 chiller was leaking water from the bottom (see attachment 1).  A puddle of water was
formed and eventually found its way down to the Hotcell.

It was discovered that one of the insulators that supported the target module broke apart (see Attachment#1).  This might be caused by the
heat from the target legs that reflected back from the base to the insulators.  The burnt marks are the evidence.

Both the IEVAP2:TBHT and IEVAP2:TGHT maximum current setpoints on the vacuum page (see page: /edl/ievap2_vacuum1.edl) are wrong.
