Zr is used extensively in nuclear reactors worldwide in a broad range of microstructural conditions due to its thermomechanical, corrosion and neutronic properties. However the...

We propose to conduct experiments to further the technological and scientific development of micro-channel plate neutron detection systems for high spatial and time-of-flight...

Electron beam (EB) welding is a well-established and frequently used joining method within the aerospace industry. A numerical model, using a commercial weld-simulation package...

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a natural compound (Ca10 (PO4)6(OH) 2) found in human bone and clinical research has shown that HA coated orthopaedic implants improve the ingrowth and...

The stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of austenitic stainless steels (ASS) has been shown to increase with cold work (CW). However, the mechanism by which CW and the subsequent...

Internal stress is a terminology often used in high temperature creep as a measure of the internal resistance of polycrystalline materials to creep deformation. Changes in...

There is a pressing worldwide need for research to develop specific sustainable spent fuel reprocessing technologies suitable for minimizing waste from next generation nuclear...

In this study, in-situ high-temperature loading investigations will be performed to characterise the micromechanics of a high strength alloy 720Li, during stress relaxation in...

Historical metallurgy is one of the most interesting topics of archaeometry but, in order to achieve a good level of characterization of the artefacts studied by traditional...

Where a material can plastically deform by more than one mechanism, the relative extent to which the various mechanisms operate often depends on the strain rate. Most metals...

The aim of this experiment is to study the effect of solid solution strengtheners on deformation mechanisms in Titanium alloys with particular emphasis on studying twinning....

MAX phases such as Ti3SiC2 have an exciting combination of properties however no single crystals are available to enable measurement of their intrinsic (single crystal - SC)...

This experiment is part of a broader programme studying the effects of alloying on the properties of magnesium alloys with the aim of improving formability and reducing...

Aim: The strengthening mechanisms of a creep resistant bainitic 1%CrMoV steel at both ambient and elevated temperatures are governed by the complex microstructure comprising...

Welds have an associated residual stress field that affects the propagation rate of weld zone defects/cracks. Crack propagation modifies the local stress field through residual...

This experiment has important applications in the power generation industry, and is a continuation of two experiments completed at the ILL where we have characterised the...

This experiment is aimed to study the effect of Oxygen on deformation mechanisms in Zr alloys with a particular emphasis on studying twinning. Oxygen is found in many Zr alloys...

We request 3 days of beam-time on ENGIN-X to investigate the influence of lattice preferred orientation on the onset of mechanical twinning in polycrystalline calcite (CaCO3)...

The experiment wishes to measure the strain profiles across 12 mm thick reference ceramics slabs especially produced to minimize and maximize thermal stress during cooling. The...

Titanium Matrix Composites have received intensive attentions in the past decade because of their high specific stiffness and strength and resistance to high temperature....
