Advanced metrology and diagnostic capabilities for in-depth analysis of material and structural characteristics and properties by X-Ray CT
Abstract
Funds are provided to support the purchase of research instrumentation.The Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) Department at UCI and the Advanced Metal Processing Center (CAMP) are currently collaborating with ARO, ARL, DLA, SERDP, ONR, and AFOSR on several fundamental research programs with relevance to the defense industry. The instrumentation requested under this proposal is a high energy X-Ray CT scanner which allows us to see in 3D the internal structure of defects in manufactured components. In addition to the visual image, the large sets of data that are generated are used to characterize the final product. For example, data on spatial porosity distribution, size of the pores, the distance between pores, the volume fraction of pores, morphological dimensions, etc. Such rich spatial data with the use of FEA analysis allows us capabilities that previously were not available.
