| Abstract Scope |
Recent advances of synchrotron X-ray techniques have provided us unprecedented time and spatial resolution and new in situ capability with complex sample environments, shedding new light into the mechanisms and pathways of microstructural evolution and its correlation with material’s macroscopic behavior. Synchrotron high-energy X-rays are ideal tools for probing defect formation, deformation dynamics, and phase transformation of bulk materials in real time in realistic conditions. Research of nuclear reactor materials conducted at the Advanced Photon Source will be highlighted, including in situ deformation studies of ferritic and austenitic steels with wide-angle X-ray scattering, small-angle X-ray scattering, and in situ 3D characterization by high-energy X-ray diffraction microscopy. In situ metal additive manufacturing studies with high-speed X-ray diffraction and imaging, and X-ray tomography of porosity distribution in additively printed materials and stress corrosion cracking will also be presented. |
