Abstract Scope |
Advanced diffraction techniques using both neutron and high-energy synchrotron radiation provide multidimensional insights into the bulk behavior of alloys under in-situ thermo-mechanical conditions. Neutron diffraction offers statistical averaging over large volumes, capturing orientation distributions and internal strains, while synchrotron diffraction enables grain-resolved analysis through high spatial and angular resolution. Their complementarity enables comprehensive tracking of microstructural evolution.
This contribution highlights non-conventional diffraction analysis approaches, including the consideration of primary extinction effects to probe defect kinetics. Grain-resolved spot analysis reveals mechanisms of strain relaxation, recovery, and recrystallization, while anisotropic diffraction patterns provide access to texture and residual stress evolution. Diffuse scattering from single crystals further reveals short-range ordering.
Case studies include Multi-Principal Element Alloys such as Medium Entropy Alloys, Refractory Alloys, and Titanium Aluminides. These examples illustrate the power of combined neutron and synchrotron methods in revealing internal processes that govern mechanical behavior and phase transformations in complex alloys. |
