We present two examples of the potential of synchrotron X-ray refraction techniques. First, we focus on the 3D imaging of hydrogen assisted cracks in an EN AW – 6060 aluminium alloy which are otherwise undetected by absorption-based CT. The second work is a quantitative analysis of the damage evolution in an Al/Al2O3 Metal Matrix Composite during interrupted in-situ tensile load.
3D imaging techniques have an enormous potential to understand the microstructure, its evolution, and its link to mechanical, thermal, and transport properties. In this conference paper we report the use of a powerful, yet not so wide-spread, set of X-ray techniques based on refraction effects. X-ray refraction allows determining internal specific surface (surface per unit volume) in a non-destructive fashion, position and orientation sensitive, and with a nanometric detectability. We demonstrate showcases of ceramics and composite materials, where microstructural parameters could be achieved in a way unrivalled even by high-resolution techniques such as electron microscopy or computed tomography. We present in situ analysis of the damage evolution in a carbon fibre reinforced polymer and a Al/Al2O3metal matrix composite during tensile load, the direct observation of damage accumulation during creep of Al-3.85Mg and the identification of void formation (different kinds of defects, particularly unsintered powder hidden in pores, and small inhomogeneity’s like cracks) in Ti64 parts produced by selective laser melting using synchrotron X-ray refraction radiography tomography.
