Feasibility Study on the use of Small-Angle Neutron Scattering for Microstructural Determinations of Technological Alloys, Carried out at Atomic Weapons Research Establishment (AWRE), Aldermaston, England.

Abstract

A study was carried out at the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment (AWRE), Aldermaston, England, on the use of small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) for non-destructive evaluation of alloys of technological importance. A range of ferrous and nickel-based superalloys were examined in different conditions. SANS is sensitive to the development of heterogeneities having sufficient scattering power for neutrons. It is concluded that this method can play an important role in alloy development and long range alloy test programs. (Author)
