Description

Cemented carbide tools made radioactive by irradiating them with 3He2+ ions were used to measure tool wear. The detector used to monitor the radioactivity incorporated a sodium iodide scintillation counter. The use of 3He2+ ions for irradiation is preferable to that of protons. Consideration of the characteristics of commercially available radiation detectors showed that the use of a scintillation counter was most appropriate for this application. (Auth.)
