I produce large single crystals of metals to study the fundamental mechanisms of plastic deformation. The process is carried out in a vacuum furnace, and it works beautifully for most materials — except for high-entropy alloys. These alloys contain a significant amount of manganese, which tends...

Hi everyone, I have a vacuum furnace that can reach about 10^-5 mbar. On the KF flange, I currently have a capped tee. I want to build a system that, after pumping down the vacuum, allows me to fill the furnace with argon from a gas bottle through a pressure regulator (e.g., set to 0.5 bar)...
