Inter-phase load partitioning in a directionally-solidified Cr-Cr3Si eutectic
In situ composite materials based upon refractory metal - silicide eutectics are being considered for high temperature structural applications. These materials derive their high... -
Exploration of Elastic Anisotropy in Nanolaminate MAX Phases
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)... -
Influence of yttrium on temperature dependence of internal strain development...
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... -
The influence of texture on mechanical twinning in calcite
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 Origin of Anelastic Creep Behaviour
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... -
Intergranular strain development during biaxial loading
The experiment will measure the development of Type II intergranular strains in 316 stainless steel as a function of applied stress for stress states ranging from uniaxial to...
