A heat-treatment device has been developed in order to analyse the dyn
amics of structural transformation of powdered materials. This furnace
is able to reach 1123 K, with a low-temperature gradient along the qu
artz capillary and is designed to work on a curved INEL CPS 120 detect
or with a classical X-ray generator (molybdenum tube). The device perm
its the collection of a set of recordings at different temperatures du
ring a short period of time for moderately diffractive materials.
