4.2 High-Throughput ex-situ measurements of phases, chemistry, defects, and stresses
Developing fixtures, methodology and protocols for high-throughput ex-situ measurements - to drastically improve the development speed in the metal industry R&D sector
Project summary
This project will focus on developing fixtures, methodology and protocols for high-throughput ex-situ measurements. To streamline the step between production and measurements at an LSI facility. The high-throughput approach has the potential to drastically improve the development speed in the metal industry R&D sector. This advancement does however require further development of both hardware and software, such as sample holders and software pipelines for batch data analysis, which will be addressed in the project. The project aims to generate protocols for phase analysis, chemical analysis, porosity/defect analysis as well as stress analysis, the latter in collaboration with project 4.1. The project will initially focus on experiments performed in transmission geometry using both neutrons and x-rays depending on material type.
