Irradiation-Assisted Corrosion And Optical Methods

A high-speed loop is a versatile instrument to study the effects of flow on corrosion and electrochemical behaviour of materials.

Irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) cracking is a corrosion phenomenon in which the material properties, stress, environment, irradiation and material aging effects are combined.

Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique can be used for the monitoring of the specimen strain, the specimen deformation, the crack initiation and early crack growth.

Supercritical water cooled reactor is one of the potential next generation nuclear power plant concepts.

Proton and neutron beams are used to simulate the radiolysis effect taking place in a nuclear core.

Gamma irradiation causes radiolysis in the nuclear power plant core.

It is generally known that the stainless steels have a two-layer oxide film composed of an inner compact layer rich in Cr and a porous outer layer with large magnetite and small spinel crystallites.

The autoclaves and testing cells can be equipped with windows. Cormet provides sapphire windows for the high-temperature high-pressure environment.
