Abstract
The invention is directed to an automated materials processing furnace capable of high temperature operation. The furnace is moveable and enables sample insertion into either end and includes a stationary sample affixed to a replaceable tray. The furnace enables the processing of material samples under both terrestrial and microgravity conditions and also provides for the monitoring of process parameters.
