- Deformation-induced martensitic transformations are increasingly being used to create desirable mechanical properties in steels. Here, the kinetics of the deformation-induced martensitic transformation is investigated at 300, 263, 223, 173 and 100 K using in situ neutron diffraction during tensile loading. The results from these experiments show a distinct change in the transformation behaviour between 300 K and the tests conducted at 263 K and below, causing a difference in martensite structure. The difference in transformation kinetics is correlated to the suppression of slip at low temperatures, as evidenced using diffraction peak intensity analysis for different grain families and corroborated using transmission electron microscopy. A direct correlation between the deformation-induced martensite fraction and the work-hardening rate is shown.

- In-situ neutron diffraction was performed during tensile deformation of Ni-base superalloy, Haynes 282, at 20, 100 and 300 K. Two distinct uni-modal microstructures with fine (20 nm) and coarse (200 nm) \(\gamma^\prime\) particles were investigated. On the macro-scale yield strength increased and ductility decreased with decreasing temperature, although most significant decrease in ductility occurred between 100 and 20 K. The work hardening differed between the two microstructures, but was independent of temperature for each microstructure. On the micro-scale intergranular elastic interactions mainly lead to a transfer of the load to grains with the $\left<200\right>$ parallel to the tensile axis. No further load re-distribution between matrix and particles occurred in the microstructure with fine \(\gamma^\prime\), where shearing of precipitates lead to co-deformation at all temperatures. In the coarse \(\gamma^\prime\) microstructure, the load was transferred intragranularly from matrix to particles, in addition to the intergranular load transfer. The particles initially behaved elastically while the matrix deformed plastically, but at higher stresses a change in load partitioning indicated that also the \(\gamma^\prime\) phase underwent plastic deformation as a result of the elastic stress build-up from the load partitioning. The tendency for, and effect of, plastic deformation of \(\gamma^\prime\) increased with decreasing temperature.

- High material penetration by neutrons allows for experiments using sophisticated sample environments providing complex conditions. Thus, neutron imaging holds potential for performing in situ nondestructive measurements on large samples or even full technological systems, which are not possible with any other technique. This paper presents a new sample environment for in situ high resolution neutron imaging experiments at temperatures from room temperature up to 1100 °C and/or using controllable flow of reactive atmospheres. The design also offers the possibility to directly combine imaging with diffraction measurements. Design, special features, and specification of the furnace are described. In addition, examples of experiments successfully performed at various neutron facilities with the furnace, as well as examples of possible applications are presented. This covers a broad field of research from fundamental to technological investigations of various types of materials and components.

- This article reports on in situ macroscopic scale imaging of NiO-YSZ (YSZ is yttria-stabilized zirconia) reduction under applied stress - a phase transition taking place in solid oxide electrochemical cells in a reducing atmosphere of a hydrogen/nitrogen mixture and at operation temperatures of up to 1073K. This process is critical for the performance and lifetime of the cells. Energy-resolved neutron imaging was applied to observe the phase transition directly with time and spatial resolution. Two different approaches are presented for using this imaging technique for the investigation of chemical and physical processes requiring controlled atmosphere and elevated temperature. The first type of measurement is based on alternating stages of short-term partial chemical reaction and longer neutron image acquisition, and the second type is a real in situ neutron imaging experiment. Results of applying energy-resolved neutron imaging with both approaches to the NiO-YSZ reduction investigation indicate enhancement of the reduction rate due to applied stress, which is consistent with the results of the authors' previous research.Results of the first in situ energy-resolved neutron imaging of NiO-YSZ (YSZ is yttria-stabilized zirconia) reduction under applied stress are presented. Neutron experiments were performed at the pulsed neutron source ISIS (UK) using a time-of-flight approach.
