Thursday, August 24, 2017, 00:28

Increase TGHT to 430, ramp at 0.1A/min.
Thursday, August 24, 2017, 23:42
TGHT reached to 430A/7.87V, temp at 1410C. Outgassing pressure reached to peak at 430A before TGHT stabilized. (Evolution of SiO(g)???)

TGHT reached to 460A/8.6V, temp at 1520C. More outgassing was observed as temp was increased.
Tapping up TGHT to reach 1600c.
Friday, August 25, 2017, 15:17
Temp reached to 1600C; TGHT at 492 A/9.3 V. Temperature was held for 3 hours. Due to a problem with the backing pump, the cooling down process was initiated.

|
Tuesday, May 02, 2023, 14:03
Two np-TiO2 spun fibrous pellets and 1 batch of fibre mats were wrapped with graphite foils and loaded into a target boat.
Sample will be heated to 1875C, similar to the previous process, see e-log ID#605 (TGHT: 440A/7.6V).
TGHT will be autoramped to 350 A and monitor the conditions before ramping up further.
Good vacuum: 3e-5 Torr
Bad vacuum: 5e-5 Torr
Omega slope: 1.08
In the previous process (ID#605), Ta-foil was inserted at both ends of the tubes to hold the sample together. However, it was observed that the out-gassing of the material reacted with the Ta-foil, causing issues. Therefore, it's decided not to cover the ends with Ta-foil, and the sensor is now looking at the graphite foil. It had previously determined the slope for SiC material set for its emissivity, but need to note any errors that may have arisen due to the change in the sample setup.
See attachment#1 for sample setup - note that Omega sensor is slightly looking at the edge of the Ta-boat tube.
Initiate autoramp: 1 A/min
Chamber has been pumped down below 5.6e-6 Torr.
Tuesday, May 02, 2023, 15:31
Vacuum spike TGHT at 75A, auto-ramping down kicked in.
Wednesday, May 03, 2023, 12:18Thursday, May 04, 2023, 15:16
TGHT has been holding at 350A/5.7V (1995W) for almost 2hrs, temp is reading at 1368C - 232C lower than the previous process (ID#605) with TGHT = 348/5.8V (2018W).
Pressure started to come down around 344A/5.5V, temp 1331C - see attachment #2.
Current status overall view - see attachment #3
Continue to ramp up t0 440A at 1A/min and monitor.
Wednesday, May 03, 2023, 14:47
TGHT reached 440A/7.5V, temp reading at 1672C. Pressure is coming down, currently at 1.8e-6 Torr. Will keep at this setting overnight and will check the Omega/emmissivity to confirm the temperature.
Thursday, May 04, 2023, 10:54
Eractic vacuum spikes started just over 3 hrs ago. Temp at 1681 C; TGHT has been stable at 440A/7.6V. Pressure ranging between 5.0e-7 to 1.5 e-6 and gradually decreasing, see attachment #4.
Will perform the omega/emmissivity measurement.
Thursday, May 04, 2023, 15:16
Temperature was checked with the digital and analogue pyrometers.
With the analogue pyrometer on the Ta-container (left end, top surface), measured temp = 1360 C, with e=0.22, correction + 200 C => 1560 C
With the Omega pyrometer (right end), 1-color mode with e= 0.22, temp = 1585 C.
Setting Omega pyrometer to 2-color mode with e= 0.99 temp = 1516 C -- this is in agreement with the measurements for Ta. Note that the pyrometer is looking at some part of the Ta container which is not covered by the sample wrapped with the graphite foil (see attachment #5).
From e-log#596, temp was reported at 1520 C (slope at 0.99) with a Ta-foil at the end of the tube, but from e-log#605, temp was reported at 1864 C (slope at 0.99) - possibly an error occurred during that time.
In conclusion, the temp should be at 1530 C +/- 10C with TGHT = 440A/7.7V (3388W).
Thursday, May 04, 2023, 15:43
Vacuum spikes continue every 30 min lasting for 10 min.
Tapped down TGHT to 430A/7.5V, temp reading at 1500 C. Will monitor if any improvement with the vacuum.

|
Thursday, July 25, 2024, 15:18
Target container consists of two np-Ta fibres disk samples. Both disks are made from heat stabilized np-Ta fibres (150 C for 17 hours) and were pressed at 8 tons / 300 MPa.
Sample 1 was made from np-Ta fibres spun using Dope solution #1. Sample 1 disk has an average thickness of 0.727 mm and a diameter of 17.113 mm. Mass of the green sample 1 disk is 0.1957 g.
Sample 2 was made from np-Ta fibres spun using Dope solution #6. Sample 2 disk has an average thickness of 0.688 mm and a diameter of 17.123 mm. Mass of the heat stabilized fibres used to make the green sample 2 disk is 0.1860 g. Mass loss from pressing the heat stabilized fibres was virtually zero. Therefore, although the mass of the green sample 2 disk was not measured, it can be extrapolated to be 0.1860 g.
Target container was wrapped with Ta foil. Each sample disk was wrapped in graphite foil and placed inside the target container horizontally near the center.
Omega slope was initially set to 0.980. After reviewing previous logbook on np-Ti (e-log ID#633), changed the Omega slope to 0.990.
Chamber is currently being pumped down. The current reading (as of 15:40) is 4.70e-05 Torr.
Two heating schedules will be tested. Heating schedule 1 entails heating both sample disks at ~1000 C until the pressure reaches below 1.00e-06 Torr. Once heating schedule 1 is completed, sample 1 will be removed. Heating schedule 2 entails heating sample 2 to ~1800 C until the pressure reaches below 1.00e-06 Torr. TGHT is estimated to be approximately 440A/7.6V to reach 1875 C (348A/5.8V to hold temperature at 1600 C). Refer to e-log ID#605.

Darwin helped to check the surrounding of the lab for water leaks; everything was good and the chamber remained under vacuum.
All the water paddle wheels were moving. A slight touch of the HS paddle wheel somehow cleared the interlock. Maybe the connection was loose.
We checked all the paddle wheels by shutting and opening the water valves. All the interlocks responded correctly.

Cooling water is in Evap2 supplied to the cooling line that goes directly to the area on the Heat Shield above the CTL.
Test results attached.

The Cool Transfer Line (CTL) test target is installed for thermal tests. Drawing number is ITD0431 REV A.
Thermocouple channels are as follows:
T1: Cu block on CTL
T2: Heat Shield above CTL
T3: Heat Shield cooling water Supply
T4: Heat Shield cooling water Return

The target has been pumping down to 5.3 e-7 Torr. On the RGA mass scan, mainly H2O (mass 18 + constituents) was detected at ~2.7pA (see attachment #1).
The target will be heated up: TGHT = 850A (rate @ 1A/min); TBHT = 300A (rate @ 1A/min).

TGHT and TBHT reached to 850A (local, 845A\13.80V) and 300A, respectively. The out gassing of CO (mass 28) reached to ~5pA at the max currents. (see attachment #2)
TBHT will be ramped down to 0A to compare the temperatures.

TBHT at 0A. See attachment#3 for the temperatures and RGA data before further ramping down the TGHT.
