Neutron radiography testings for structural ceramics of silicon nitride

  • 1. Fine Ceramics Center, Nagoya (Japan)

Description

By using Kyoto University Reactor E-2 beam hole, neutron radiography testings for structural fine ceramics of silicon nitride were performed. The test pieces having various artificial defects were inspected from the neutron radiographic images. The detectability of the method was evaluated for various thickness of the specimens. It reached to about 0.5%, which is nearly comparable to usual X-ray testings. Theoretical analyses for the detectability were studied, and the calculation formulas were obtained, which gave more clear understandings for the neutron imaging. Both experimental and calculated detectabilities were in good agreement. (author)
