The effect of Sn and Oxygen on the deformation mechanisms in Zirconium
The aim of this experiment is to study the effect of Sn and Oxygen on deformation mechanisms in Zr alloys with a particular emphasis on studying twinning. Both alloying elements... -
The effect of γ′ particle size on the γ/γ′ load tr...
The aim of this experiment is to measure the load transfer between the matrix and the precipitates in an advanced nickel¿base superalloy as a function of particle size... -
The role of dislocation slip on the activation of different twinning modes in...
Twinning is an important deformation mechanism in hcp metals like Zirconium. It is now accepted that, unless twinning is accounted for, the typical deformation textures in these... -
Intergranular Stress effects on Stress Corrosion Cracking Susceptibility of S...
The stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of austenitic stainless steels (ASS) has been shown to increase with cold work (CW). However, the mechanism by which CW and the subsequent... -
Influence of yttrium on temperature dependence of internal strain development...
This experiment is part of a broader programme studying the effects of alloying on the properties of magnesium alloys with the aim of improving formability and reducing... -
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 effect of heat treatment temperature on the texture development of the hi...
The aim of this experiment is to measure in-situ the high temperature beta phase in a Ti and Zr alloy in order to relate the beta texture with the alpha texture observed at room... -
Texture evolution in Zircalloy 4 during beta heat treatment
The aim of the proposed experiment is to measure the changes in crystallographic temperature during beta quenching of Zircalloy 4, an important nuclear fuel cladding material. -
Effects of plastic pre-strain on residual stress in welded steam tubing
Power generation plant heat exchangers contain many banks of thin section, small diameter boiler tubes that are usually cold bent to shape (introducing high levels of plastic... -
Diffraction peak shape and polycrystalline plasticity modelling
We propose to exploit the high resolution and well defined peak shape on HRPD to measure the evolution of peak profile shape at the early stages of deformation in stainless... -
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... -
Residual stress characterisation of flow formed Super CMV steel tubes for pot...
The purpose of the present work is to measure residual stresses at large depths from the surface of flow formed tubes made of a Super CMV steel that has significantly higher...
