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...

Meteorite impacts are one of the most significant processes modifying planetary surfaces, where materials (e.g., rocks, sand, meteorite fragments…) are subjected to temperature...

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...

In view of advances in texture research at pulsed neutron sources, we propose that ISIS participates in a 'Texture Round Robin' to benchmark the existing texture analysis...

Stress-free lattice parameter measurements in d0 cubes extracted from a nuclear power plant mock-up dissimilar metal weld have exhibited wide scatter among different...

The aim of the proposal is the quantitative determination of the geometrical parameters and count rate parameters of an imaging device on INES. The measurements will provide the...

Aim of this experiment is the identification and characterization of the peculiar steel production, and forging methods, of three Japanese swords made by the three most...

Permanent magnets are essential for renewable energy technologies such as electric cars and wind turbines. Global demand for magnets is increasing, however, the elements used to...

In order to extend our level of knowledge towards Oriental Arms and Armour, we have selected five samples specifically smelted, forged, characterized, and traded by Hitachi...

Nuclear power generation plants undergo start-up/shut-down load-temperature cycles during service operation. Components operating at temperatures in the creep regime can exhibit...

The proposed experiment is a continuation of the initial studies carried out on SALSA instrument (ILL, Grenoble) as part of the collaborative PhD project jointly funded by the...

Welding processes are usually associated with significant thermal gradients and may generate high tensile residual stresses in and near the bond line. These stresses reduce the...

The parent compound LaMnO3 of the hole-doped colossal magnetoresistance materials La1-xAxMnO3 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba etc.) has attracted much interest from condensed matter scientists....

Our long-term aim is a detailed study of the manufacture of wootz (the so-called Damascus steel)a high-C% cast steel which was very slowly cooled and very carefully forged so as...

We request 2 days on HRPD to perform a detailed study of the low temperature behaviour of γ-Mg(11BD4)2 in order to measure the change lattice parameter as a function of...

Ab initio computer simulations have suggested that pre-melting phenomena occur in the elastic properties of hcp-iron at the conditions of the Earth’s inner core just before...

Radial forging is an open-die forging process utilizing radially moving dies for producing of cylindrical/tubular components with different internal and external profiles. The...

Historical metallurgy is one of the most interesting fields of archaeometry. Armours also were usually crafted using high quality materials, and this seems is evident in those...

The Wallace Collection, London has one of the most important collections of Indian Arms & Armour outside the subcontinent. Museum objects must be studied non-destructively,...
