Acquisition of Robotized Metallographic Equipment with Automated Laue Pattern Analysis
Abstract
The apparatus, known commercially as Robot Met. 3D, permits full three-dimensional characterization of materials of interest to the Department of Defense. Several projects are currently benefitting from the availability of this instrument. One project (DARP) through Northrop-Grumman) is focused on fatigue crack initiation in 7075 wing skin materials: a second project (AFOSR-STW21) deals with grain size control in Nibased with super alloys for gas turbine applications.
