The comparison of neutron, gamma and x-ray radiography images for materials evaluation

The comparison of the radiograph obtained from neutron, gamma and x-ray radiography is presented in this study. The object which is made of metal and non-metal exposed to the gamma, x-ray and neutron and its images were recorded on the radiographic film. The radiograph was analysed and it shows that, gamma and x-ray methods able to revealed better features for the metal part. On the other hand, radiograph obtained from neutron radiography has shown that its able to revealed better features for non-metal parts. These results suggest that, neutron radiography installed at research reactor TRIGA MARK 11 MINT with appropriate operating energy is a powerful tool in the industrial radiography for materials evaluation.
