Ein kurzes Blick in die Computertomographie (CT) im Rahmen des RT3 Kurs der DGZfP ist gegeben.
Die Radontransformation ist bildlich erklärt, und die Grundlagen der Technik mit Vergleich zu der Radiographie sind auch erwähnt. Die typische Rekonstruktionsfehler und deren Beseitigung sind behandelt. Am Ende Beispiele der Anwendungen der CT sind gegeben, aus der zerstörungsfreie Prüfung, der Materialwissenschaft und der Metrologie.
Applications of X-ray refraction to non-destructive characterization of ceramics and composites
(2013)
X-ray refraction is analogous to visible light deflection by matter, with two main differences: 1- convex objects cause divergence (i.e., the refraction index n is smaller than 1), and 2- deflection angles are very small, from a few seconds to a few minutes of arc (i.e., n is near to 1). Trivially but importantly, deflection of X-rays is also sensitive to the orientation of the object boundaries. These features make X-ray refraction techniques extremely suitable to a) detect defects such as pores and microcracks, and quantify their densities in bulk (light) materials, and b) evaluate porosity and particle properties such as orientation, size, and spatial distribution (by mapping). While X-ray refraction techniques cannot in general image single defects, their detectability is simply limited by the wavelength of the radiation.
We will thereby show the application of X-ray refraction 2D mapping (topography) and tomography to different sorts of problems in ceramic science and technology: 1) Sintering of SiC green bodies; 2) Porosity analysis in diesel particulate filter silicates; 3) fiber de-bonding in metal and polymer matrix composites; 4) micro-cracking of glass-precursor -eucryptite. We will see that the use of X-ray refraction analysis yields quantitative results, also directly usable in available models.
Neutronenbeugung hat verschiedenste Anwendungen, die auf die eigenartigen physikalischen Eigenschaften der Neutronen berühen.
Während die Beugungstechniken wie z.B. die klassische Pulverbeugung, die Kleinwinkelstreuung und die Texturanalyse besonders für die Materialcharakterisierung nutzbar sind, setzt sich die Neutronenbeugung als zerstörungsfreies Verfahren für Eigenspannungsanalyse extrem relevant ein.
Allerdings sind nur wenig die Leute, die die Neutronenbeugung in der ZfP Community benutzen. Dieser Vortrag hat das Ziel die Interesse an der Nutzung von einem solchen Grossgerätwerkzeug aufzuwecken und ein Paar impactvolle Anwendungsbeispiele einiger Techniken zu zeigen.
Die Bestimmung mikroskopischer mechanischen Eigenschaften von Kompositen (MMC oder CMC), sowie der Mapping von Eigenspannungsfelder in Komponenten werden bearbeitet.
Es wird gezeigt, dass Neutronenbeugung grundsätzlich eine zerstörungsfreie Methode für beide die Materialcharakterisierung und die Komponentenintegrität ist, die hohes Potentiell hat, zum Verfahrensportfolio der zerstörungsfreier Prüfung zu gehören.
For how trivial or provocative it can sound, the best neutron spectrometer in the world does not produce science by itself. By definition of Materials Science, neutron scattering data on engineering materials must be used as a tool to understand, and even tailor, materials performance. In order for this to happen, it is clear that neutron data need to be acquired under the most relevant condition possible, coupled to other experimental techniques, and capitalized by means of proper simulations and data analysis.
In fact, access to neutron sources is not routine. Consequently, it is imperative to search ways to make neutron data rentable for the material science and industrial research community.
In this presentation, and based on the example of Ceramic Diesel Particulate Filters and Aluminum Matrix Composites, we will show a couple of strategies to combine neutron data with other experiments, and with theoretical models. Their combination allows raising the value of experiments from data production to problem-solving. Obviously, these are only a few among the many combinations possible to help improving materials properties, performance, and safety.
The combination of tomographic, microstructural data with other experimental techniques and with modeling is paramount, if we want to extract the maximum amount of information on material and component properties. In particular, quantitative image analysis, statistical approaches, direct discretization of tomographic reconstructions represent concrete possibilities to extend the power of the tomographic 3D representation to insights into the material and component performance. This logic thread equally holds for industrial and academic research, and valorizes expensive experiments such as those carried out at synchrotron sources, which cannot be daily repeated.
I will show a few examples of possible use of X-ray tomographic data for quantitative assessment of damage evolution and microstructural properties, as well as for non-destructive testing. Examples of micro-structured inhomogeneous materials will be given, such as Composites, Ceramics, Concrete, and Additively manufactured parts. I will also show how X-ray refraction computed tomography (CT) can be highly complementary to classic absorption CT, being sensitive to internal interfaces.
Additionally, I will present a new technique in our portfolio, Neutron Diffraction, which is extremely well suited to the study of internal stresses, both residual and under external load.

“Neutrons are a powerful tool” say the neutron scientists. However the use of neutrons remains sometimes disconnected from the practical problems of Materials Science, and facilities themselves are seen as ivory towers.
In this presentation, I will give an overview of the modalities of access to Large Scale facilities, and show a couple of examples on how neutron scattering data on engineering materials can be used as a tool to understand, and even tailor, materials performance.
In order for this to happen, it is clear that neutron data need to be
1. Acquired under the most relevant condition possible
2. Coupled to other experimental techniques
3. Capitalized by means of proper simulations and data analysis
Point 1- calls for an intense use and the development of top-notch of in-situ techniques; Point 2- means that the sole use of neutron data will not lead to any solution of a global problem; All points above hint to the fact that access to neutron sources is not routine, and therefore it is imperative to search ways to make neutron data rentable for the material science and industrial research community.
