Description

A summary is given of methods of activating specimens for wear measurement. The principle of thin-layer activation (TLA) is described, and its advantages for wear measurement are listed. Details are presented of the use of TLA for engine test cam follower wear measurement. In this case a swept beam of deuterons was used to irradiate the cast iron cam follower, to produce Co-57 by (d,n) reaction. (U.K.)
