Ion-bombardment etching of nuclear materials

  • 1. Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Bombay (India). Radiometallurgy Division

Description

Conventional chemical etching often presents difficulties in revealing the microstructure of some materials. Ion bombardment etching has helped in overcoming these difficulties in the metallographic preparation of nuclear ceramic materials. Metallographic examination has played a key role in supporting the nuclear fuel development and fabrication programme in the Radiometallurgy Division. A representative selection of photomicrographs obtained by ion-bombardment etching is presented in this report. (author). 2 refs., 1 tab., 20 figs
