Creep lifetime of high temperature power plant materials are significantly affected due to predicted and unpredicted cyclic loading during plant operation. Our previous study...

The material to be studied is nuclear graphite used in the core of the Gas-cooled Reactors in the UK. It is a non-replaceable component and therefore life-limiting. During...

When metals are placed under load at high temperature they usually deform over time; a process known as creep. In this experiment we will look at the creep behaviour of a type...

This proposal will explore the effect of elevated pressure on the 3,4,5-Trinitropyrazole (TNP). TNP releases a large amount of dinitrogen gas as a detonation product which is...

Oxford University in collaboration with ISIS neutron facility have developed a new technique for imaging strain in engineering components in three dimensions. We termed this...

An EPSRC funded project has commenced in order to study the residual stress distribution of hot rolled Ti-6Al-4V alloy plate and the evolution of such stresses induced by heat...

Four sculptures from the Rijksmuseum South- and Southeast Asian collection are proposed for investigation by means of neutron diffraction to complete the characterization of...

This proposal aims (1) to characterize the residual stress in Titanium alloys prepared by direct metal laser sintering, an additive layer manufacturing process; (2) to correlate...

The aim of this experiment is to characterise the residual stresses that evolve as a multiple pass weld is built up, while exploiting transformation plasticity due to specially...

20 years ago, Anderson proposed that the thermoelastic properties of the dominant (mantle) phase within the Earth, MgSiO3 perovskite, could be described as a simple Debye solid....

We request 4 days of beamtime on ENGIN-X to measure the influence of relative grain size on stress partitioning between the constituent phases in two phase polycrystalline...

Steels often have anisotropic mechanical properties due to texture or internal stress generated by deformation. Recently it has become desirable to control this anisotropy, to...

The joining of aluminum is commonly performed by arc welding technique which easily induces severe weld defects and distortion. The friction stir welding (FSW) technique offers...

We propose to study the effect of pressure and temperature on the crystal structure and the elasticproperties of lead selenide, an important material for conversion of waste...

We would like to explore the potential of energy-dependent neutron imaging, in view of the future Bragg edge transmission analysis options on IMAT and LARMOR. The experiments...

Recent work has shown that localised high-pressure rolling of weld seams can be a very effective means of reducing the damaging residual stresses created during the welding...

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

We recently used high-resolution neutron diffraction on HRPD to observe the largest magneto-elastic coupling ever seen in a metallic magnet. The material studied was CoMnSi, a...

Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) process is rapidly moving towards the production and qualification of large structural parts. Parts built by WAAM for structural...

We propose to study by total neutron scattering the structures of some complex oxide materials prepared by new hydrothermal routes in order to construct structural models...
