The design of a high temperature electric furnace (maximum temperature 1300°C) using pyrolitic graphite both as a heating element and as a crucible for x-ray diffraction of liquid metals is described. The usefulness of the furnace for high temperature melting metals is demonstrated by obtaining an x-ray diffraction curve of molten copper in helium atmosphere.
