Endcaps were sprayed with TaC coating and let dry.
Each endcap is wrapped separately with a sheet of graphite foil and stacked in the target boat [see image]

A Ta foil is placed in the target boat with separate slots for each endcap [same as elog 200]
The target boat is wrapped with 3-layers of Ta-heat shield.

A Ta tube was coated with TaC.  The inner of the tube was filled with TaC solution and the excess was drained out to give a homogenous coating.
 The outer layer of the tube was brushed with TaC.

The endcaps are stacked together with a punched out disc of graphite foil placed in between each endcap for separation so endcaps won't fuse together.
The end caps are further wrapped in a larger piece of graphite foil to hold together as a tube [same method used in elogID # 158]

5 samples were prepared at UBC MTRL using Sol-gel tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) coated on electrospun polyacrylonitrate (PAN). 
Each sample is sandwiched in between graphite foils.

SiC powder (<1um) [10%] was mixed with PAN solution [10%].  Solution was sonicated before e-spinning.  
Fiber mat was binded to graphite foil and heat treated to 250C in air for 1 hour.

Target boat has a layer of niobium foil on the bottom of the boat.
A niobium foil has been made with slots to hold samples [similar to when sintering endcaps] *See attached photos
