[vc_row css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_column css_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]The X-ray analysis platform aims to characterize materials originating from LGF research.<\/p>\n

Two techniques are represented.<\/p>\n

X-ray absorption tomography<\/strong> is a non-destructive imaging technique that involves reconstructing the volume of an object in three dimensions. Defects (pores, cracks) and heterogeneities present in the analyzed object are then visualized.<\/p>\n

X-ray diffraction<\/strong> on powders or bulk samples provides information on the crystalline state of the material. The interpretation of measurements, using software (DIFFRAC EVA, TOPAS, HighScore, etc.) and databases (ICDD PDF-4+, COD), allows for the determination of the phases present, their textures, and residual stresses.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_column css_animation=”fadeIn” css_animation_delay=”0.5″]
