Non-Destructive Evaluation of Defects in Structural Materials Using Long-Wavelength Neutrons.

Abstract

Small-angle scattering profiles from HSLA steels (Fe-0.05C-1.0Mn-0.12Nb-0.06A1) annealed at various temperatures ranging between 660 degrees C and 1000 degrees C were obtained. The values obtained from Guinier analysis and size distribution calculations were compared with those obtained from electron micrographic observations, and were shown to agree satisfactorily. Similar data were obtained from samples of Ni-P amorphous glasses annealed at 295 degrees, 400 degrees, and 500 degrees C. No crystallization effects were observed from 295 degrees C sample. The Guinier plots of the 400 degrees and 500 degrees C samples indicate good agreement with the expected behavior due to annealing of the amorphous state; namely, the higher annealing temperatures correspond to larger microcrystallite sizes.
