Hi There,
For a standard gold fire assay, can you carry out cupellation in a fusion furnace? My cupellation furnace has broken down. Apart from the temperatures, which I've brought down to 950, I thought that one is supposed to be creating an oxidising environment and that the fusion furnace environment is reducing? I.e. can you get proper airflow and proper oxidising conditions in a fusion furnace? How will this affect the cupellation process and what should i look out for?
Thanks in advance.
