Residual stress investigation in inertia friction welds of RR1000 superalloy
Nickel based super alloys are utilized at high temperatures, in aggressive environments, and therefore important for aeroengine applications. RR1000 is a nickel-based... -
Rheological properties of ice-rock mixtures
The large icy satellites of Jupiter and Saturn are denser than pure water-ice and so must contain "rock" contaminants that can greatly affect each moon's geological (and hence... -
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... -
High strain rate studies of twinning
Where a material can plastically deform by more than one mechanism, the relative extent to which the various mechanisms operate often depends on the strain rate. Most metals... -
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)... -
The effect of Oxygen on twinning in Zr model alloys
This experiment is aimed to study the effect of Oxygen on deformation mechanisms in Zr alloys with a particular emphasis on studying twinning. Oxygen is found in many Zr alloys... -
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)... -
Development of high resolution detectors for Bragg edge time of flight transm...
The energy of transmitted neutrons can be obtained from their time-of-flight, simultaneously with the acquisition of the transmission radiographic image by a pixilated detector.... -
The effect of Aluminium on the deformation mechanisms in Titanium
The aim of this experiment is to study the effect of Aluminium (Al) on deformation mechanisms in Titanium (Ti) alloys with a particular emphasis on studying twinning. Titanium... -
Reduced Residual Stresses In Multipass Welds Using Low Transformation Tempera...
The aim of this experiment is to characterise the residual stresses that evolve as a multiple pass weld is built up, while exploiting transformation plasticity due to specially... -
The effect of elastic stress on the martensite transformation in commercial T...
This proposal intends to investigate two ideas relating to TRIP steels in one experiment. Firstly, in-situ cooling under constant elastic stress will be performed to determine... -
In-Situ Residual Stress Measurement by Neutron Diffraction in Cold Weld Repai...
Grade 91 pipes and tubes have become a standard material for the design of new and refurbishment of existing Power Plants. Several major failures have been encountered after... -
Measuring strains in low-symmetry, crystal-chemically complex, hydrous minerals
We request 4 days of beam-time on ENGIN-X to measure the development of elastic strains in geologically important minerals as a function of uniaxial load. We wish to perform...
