Entry  Wednesday, August 01, 2012, 09:37, Pierre Bricault, ITE-TM4-UO#3, LP-FEBIAD, ITE, TM4, , , Problems/Solutions, Short has developed while lowering the cathode heater 

 On tuesday July we lower the cathode heater to swap the anode-cathode bias. While lowering the cathode heater a short on the anode developed. 

The polarity swap was not possible because the target/tube assembly has also a short to common. 

We return the configuration has it was and we added two 100 Ohms: 5 W resistor between the common and the heaters to prevent current to flow back to the common. 

The anode short disappear during the cathode and target heating.

The target is currently undergoing the final conditioning in the Evaporator #1.

This target was broken right before the end of the final run.  The target was inspected today inside the Hotcell and the pictures can be found here: http://documents.triumf.ca/docushare/dsweb/View/Collection-9357

Looks like the protective layer (TaC coating) was worn out over the course of the run time. 

We need to improve the target coating so this can be prevented in the future.

More info about this later...

Note:

This target was built in 2011.  The endcaps were replaced after they got vaporized in Evap#1 during the sintering process, and the target was re-conditioned.

See elogs for more details:

The target was inspected and was good for online use.


Total SiC foils = 555 discs

Total length (packed) = 17.5cm

This target did not pass the test-stand and will not be used for online (unless if it gets approved).  The target container is deformed.  An increase of voltage was observed during the test; perhaps it's a sign of the container being cracked?!  See Test-stand e-log#450 for more details.  

Another target is already prepared and being tested.  (Target Oven WO# 41177-2).

Total no. discs = 422

Total packed length = 13.2 cm (measured after the sintering process) 

Note:  The theoretical length (ZrC + graphite foils) is 10.52cm    After the sintering process, the stack of discs expanded in length.  To avoid crushing the materials while inserting the endcaps, the discs are gentally packed to 13.2cm.
