Description
Laue three-dimensional neutron diffraction tomography has emerged as a powerful and highly experimentally efficient technique for the in-depth analysis of polycrystalline and oligocrystalline materials, thanks to its ability to utilize a white neutron beam for simultaneous probing of multiple crystallographic orientations in a single scan. The methodology has seen significant progress over recent years, particularly with the deployment and commissioning of the FALCON double detector system, to serve as an add-on equipment, at the POLDI engineering diffraction beamline, at the Paul Scherrer Institute. This strategic move has enhanced the experimental capabilities and broadened the scope of Laue 3DNDT applications. Key applications of Laue 3DNDT include comprehensive grain mapping and indexing, morphology reconstruction, detailed orientation distribution analysis, as well as the detection of twinning. Additionally, the method has been useful in strain mapping and has proven invaluable in probing complex martensitic transformations. By offering detailed insights into the microstructural properties of materials, Laue 3DNDT supports the development and optimization of advanced functional materials across various fields.
This presentation will delve into the technical aspects of Laue 3DNDT, showcase its experimental achievements, and highlight its pivotal role in advancing material science research. Through case studies and practical examples, we will illustrate how this technique has revolutionized the analysis of material properties and paved the way for new innovations in the field.
