This furnace was developed in conjunction with the ANL-NE division (M. Li, PI) with additional consultation from the ANL-AES division, and constructed by Oxygon, Inc.It attaches to the MTS 858 load frame at the 1-ID beamline. It provides the ability to perform in-situ thermo-mechanical testing on irradiated materials, in-vacuum, with loads up to +2.5 kN and temperatures up to 1200 C.Internal shielding allows for measurements on 'hotter' irradiated materials than otherwise possible, while staying within APS control limits.An in-grip rotation system permits sample rotations up to 360 degrees, for ff-HEDM, tomography and SAXS measurements.
Funding was provided by the ANL-LDRD program.
