Sciencedaily (wang lili Reporter Chen) in our country the first material texture were studied with neutron scattering experiment platform - texture neutron diffraction completed zirconium alloys and for the first time in China institute of atomic energy transformer silicon steel texture measurement, this symbolized our country for the first time the neutron scattering technique in industrial application in the study of material texture. Dr. Li Meijuan, who is in charge of the spectrometer, believes that this provides a new experimental method for the study of material texture in China, and opens up an important research field.

 

Li Mei yun, can only be observed by other diffraction means material surface texture, penetrability, texture neutron diffraction is a super "microscope", and can be measured to simulate the change of the material under various conditions texture, and then through different process to adjust texture control, get the required performance, further excavate potential material, "This is essential for both existing and new materials." "This is a high quality data, and the measurement results are very encouraging," said Professor Brokmeier of Kloster Technical University in Germany, an internationally renowned expert on neutron texture diffractometer.

 

It is understood that since the 1950s, the neutron diffraction technology has been gradually applied to a variety of industrial, aerospace, archaeological and geological fields of material texture research, helping to solve many important problems in the field of practice. There was no neutron texture test platform in China, which restricted the development of many important materials in China to a certain extent. In August 2012, China's first neutron texture spectrometer was built in the Institute of Atomic Energy. The neutron texture research group of the Institute independently designed and developed the key components of the spectrometer, developed the automatic measurement and control software of neutron texture, and completed the assembly and debugging of the spectrometer.

 

Neutron texture diffractometer is also closely related to People's Daily life. For example, it can be used in the research of manufacturing materials for cylindrical items such as cups, washbasins and cans, as well as the research of materials in the field of automobile shell steel plate, so as to improve the use efficiency of materials. The application of neutron scattering technology in industrial production is of great value to the rational and full use of materials and the development of new materials for military and civilian use.
