Suspension and solution precursor (SSP) spraying is an emerging thermal spraying technology which utilises liquid feedstock containing sub-micrometre and nanoparticles. Alumina...

Current UK reactors use a graphite composite material in the core and this material comprises coarse grains and about 20 vol.% porosity. This material functions well so far but...

The proposal requests 2-day access to ENGIN-X instrument for gathering diffraction data from 20 samples made of two high-temperature steels (10CrMoVNbN and TP316H). The samples...

Inconel 718 alloys are widely used in industry. However, deformation behaviour of the different phases in the alloys during plastic deformation under loading has not been...

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...

Haynes 282 is a novel Ni-base superalloy, combining excellent weldability and general processability with moderate cost. As such, it is very promising for e.g. industrial gas...

Transformation Induced-Plasticity (TRIP) phenomenon has been intensively studied to developnew steel products with the optimal combination of formability and strength. However,...

The proposed experiment forms a part of a joint study by M. Rahman, an ILL PhD thesis student, and J. Brokx, a CDT thesis student supported by ISIS. In the proposed experiment,...

The present research proposal focuses on solving technological challenges associated with the implementation of components of Nickel superalloys produced by Additive...

We propose to develop the means to measure the orientations, phases and strains of individual crystal grains within a polycrystal using neutrons. Such measurements have...

The proposed experiment will study the deformation of a two phase Zr-2.5Nb alloy at cryogenic temperatures. It forms part of our ongoing long-term project to understand the...

High rate of failure of mooring chains used in the offshore industry necessitates improved understanding of phenomena correlated to the fatigue life of these chains. Although...

Zr alloys are used in cores of nuclear reactors because they are relatively transparent to neutrons, which helps the efficiency of a nuclear reactor. However, as any material...

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

The present proposal leans on the study of the elastoviscoplastic behavior of a polycrystalline Co by neutron diffraction (ENGIN-X) in line with theoretical investigations : 4...

Reduced-pressure electron beam (RPEB) welding is an advanced welding technique being considered for Gen III and Gen IV nuclear piping and pressure vessel applications. RPEB...

In August 2015, the oil and gas company (Royal Dutch Shell plc) were granted the final permit it needs to begin drilling below the ocean floor for oil in the Arctic. They have...

In power generation plants, many critical components are subjected to complex tension-compression cyclic loading followed by long-term creep dwells. While uniaxial creep...

Liquid feedstock containing sub-micron to nano-sized particles is used in suspension thermal spray to produce nanostructured ceramic coatings with improved density, strength and...

The mechanical behaviour of porous granular rocks is highly complex due to the fact that they exhibit a multiscale interaction of three different phases: grains, cement and...
