DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A X-RAY CAMERA FOR CONTINUOUS POWDER PHOTOGRAPHS DURING PROGRAMMED TEMPERATURE CHANGES.
Abstract:
X-ray Analysis, using the Debye-Scherrer method, has been a laboratory tool for many years in studying the behavior of materials. The importance of performing investigations at high temperatures and changing environments led to the design and development of a X-ray Camera that extends the capabilities of basic powder pattern technology. A camera was designed to take a continuous sequence of X-ray powder photographs on a single strip of film while specimen temperature was changed. The design and development of this apparatus and its application in phase transformation studies is described and illustrated. The powder pattern photographs obtained with this apparatus provide desirable features and comparison presentation that can be applied to other investigations. Author
