X-Ray Computed Tomography LAB

1. Lab Description and Capabilities

• Characterize surfaces properties and composition at high resolution
• Highly accurate inspection on dense materials such as metals

2. Deliverables

• Characterization of corrosion related damage (pits, cracks, and crevices), fracture surfaces, inclusions at select locations, corrosion products (oxides) and grain structures
• Large walk-in cabinet can accommodate large samples

3. Major Equipment and Specific Minor Equipment

• Nikon XT H 320 system with 5‐axis manipulator
• 225 kV, 225 W Ultrafocus X‐ray source with reflection target
