Abstract
Operational characteristics are investigated for evaluation and improvement of a high pressure apparatus which has a new anvil-driving mechanism. Analysis and measurement of anvil motion reveales that a very accurate anvil-alignment is achieved and maintained throughout hundreds of usages. Pressures are generated up to 100 kbar with avils having square faces 10 mm on an edge, and 120 kbar with anvils having square faces 6.4 mm on an edge. A method is devised to correct the effect of elastic deformation in structural parts, and completely isotropic compression is realized. Temperatures higher than 2000°C are attained in samples, 4 mm in diameter and 8 mm in length, while anvil-temperatures do not exceed 300°C. Operational ease and long anvil-life in the apparatus are attributed to the new anvil driving mechanism.Keywords
