This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neutron diffraction has been used for engineering applications for nearly three decades. The basis of the technique is powder diffraction following Bragg's Law. From the measured diffraction patterns information about internal, or residual, strain can be deduced from the peak positions, texture information can be extracted from the peak intensities, and finally the peak widths can provide information about the microstructure, e.g. dislocation densities and grain sizes. The strains are measured directly from changes in lattice parameters, however, in many cases it is non-trivial to determine macroscopic values of stress or strain from the measured data. The effects of intergranular strains must be considered, and combining the neutron diffraction measurements with polycrystal deformation modeling has proven invaluable in determining the overall stress and strain values of interest in designing and dimensioning engineering components. Furthelmore, the combined use of measurements and modeling has provided a tool for elucidating basic material properties, such as critical resolved shear stresses for the active deformation modes and their evolution as a function of applied deformation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two methods have been developed to determine temperature non-invasively within engineering components by neutron diffraction. The integrated intensity of a diffraction line depends on temperature through the Debye-Waller factor. The angular position of the line, in the absence of an applied load, depends on temperature through the thermal expansion coefficient. Temperature may thus be determined by accurate relative intensity measurements with respect to a reference temperature and, alternatively, by accurate measurement of the interplanar spacings. It was also shown to be feasible to measure the strain response to an applied load at elevated temperatures. Measurements were made on Waspalloy and the Ti alloy AMS 4928. For Waspalloy, for example, the thermal expansion at zero stress gave the average temperature with a precision of ± 4 K and agreed with thermocouple measurements to within 5 K on average. The intensity data suggests that temperature can be measured with a precision of ± 10 K in a loaded component.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No studies using diffraction have specifically aimed to study the (hkl) specific shear strain of lattice planes to the application of pure shear due to applied torsion. Also no measures of strain resultant from combined loads of tension and shear stress applied simultaneously have been performed. Current techniques simply measure the planar response to axial stress and cannot provide shear strains directly. Shear moduli are not necessarily related through traditional continuum mechanics to planar Youngs' moduli (Ehkl) from these axial experiments for all materials. This is of significance as most engineering components fail under the influence of shear stress, or combination of shear and axial stress, rather than solely under axial stress. However, even though shear is the predominant loading case and yield mechanism, no exhaustive studies have yet been carried out describing the (hkl) specific shear strain in response to applied shear stress. A new technique that has been implemented as a proof-of-concept at the 2nd Generation Neutron Residual Stress Mapping Facility (NRSF2) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) that is able to indirectly measure the shear response of individual hkl plane. Torsion provides a unique opportunity to study the mechanical behavior of materials subjected to pure state of shear stress. An additional technique is presented that allows for the measurement of a full strain tensor in materials subjected to complex and combined proportional loads of axial and shear stresses. These new techniques are utilized to measure the planar response of a bcc ferretic steel alloy ex situ (post loading) and in situ (during loading). A comprehensive analysis of the strain tensors derived through neutron diffraction experiments on this material measured ex situ and in situ are presented. Also, a detailed description of gauge volume location through an advanced laser tracker system is demonstrated.

This book was released on 2006-05-05 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for this book arose from my teaching, engineering, and - search experience in the non-power aspects of nuclear technology. The lack of a comprehensive textbook in industrial applications of radiation frustrated my students, who had to resort to a multitude of textbooks and research publications to familiarize themselves with the fundam- tal and practical aspects of radiation technology. As an engineer, I had to acquire the design aspects of radiation devices by trial-and-error, and often by accidental reading of a precious publication. As a researcher and a supervisor of graduate students, I found that the needed literature was either hard to find, or too scattered and diverse. More than once, I discovered that what appeared to be an exciting new idea was an old concept that was tried a few decades earlier during the golden era of “Atom for Peace”. I am hoping, therefore, that this book will serve as a single comprehensive reference source in a growing field that I expect will continue to expand. This book is directed to both neophytes and experts, and is written to combine the old and the new, the basic and the advanced, the simple and the complex. It is anticipated that this book will be of help in - viving older concepts, improving and expanding existing techniques and promoting the development of new ones.

This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crystallographic texture or preferred orientation has long been known to strongly influence material properties. Historically, the means of obtaining such texture data has been though the use of x-ray or neutron diffraction for bulk texture measurements, or transmission electron microscopy or electron channeling for local crystallographic information. In recent years, we have seen the emergence of a new characterization technique for probing the microtexture of materials. This advance has come about primarily through the automated indexing of electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) patterns. The first commercially available system was introduced in 1994, and since then of sales worldwide has been dramatic. This has accompanied widening the growth applicability in materials scienceproblems such as microtexture, phase identification, grain boundary character distribution, deformation microstructures, etc. and is evidence that this technique can, in some cases, replace more time-consuming transmission electron microscope (TEM) or x-ray diffraction investigations. The benefits lie in the fact that the spatial resolution on new field emission scanning electron microscopes (SEM) can approach 50 nm, but spatial extent can be as large a centimeter or greater with a computer controlled stage and montagingofthe images. Additional benefits include the relative ease and low costofattaching EBSD hardware to new or existing SEMs. Electron backscatter diffraction is also known as backscatter Kikuchi diffraction (BKD), or electron backscatter pattern technique (EBSP). Commercial names for the automation include Orientation Imaging Microscopy (OIMTM) and Automated Crystal Orientation Mapping (ACOM).
