    Abstract : This project analyzes how an in-situ cell can be developed to withstand high amounts of pressure and temperature of at least 100 bar and 500 °C. A theoretical prototype will be created as a product for Malmö University and other researchers to use or improve. READ MORE

  3. 2. Performance and Wear Behavior of Ultra-Hard Cutting Tools during Machining of Titanium Alloy

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell Produktion

    Author : Rebecka Lindvall; [2018]
    Keywords : Metal cutting; Machining performance; Titanium machining; Ti6Al4V; α β -alloy; Tool wear; Wear mechanisms; Cost efficiency; Colding analysis; Cemented carbide; PCD; pcBN; TEM; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Since the 1950’s, a wide range of titanium alloys has been developed. Attractive titanium properties are the high strength-to-weight ratio, resistance towards corrosion, low thermal conductivity and low thermal expansion. READ MORE

  4. 3. Development of a Detector System for Detection of Thermal Neutrons from Spent Nuclear Fuel

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Daniel Söderström; [2016]
    Keywords : neutron detection; neutron; 10B; boron-10; nuclear physics; boron; neutron detector; scintillator; boron carbide; B4C; nuclear fuel; repository; SKB; Physics and Astronomy; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The nuclear reaction 10B(n,alpha)7Li* was utilised to develop a neutron detection system. This system has the purpose of being used to detect the thermal neutron radiation emitted by spent nuclear fuel, before it is transported to a final repository. READ MORE

  5. 4. The Characteristics of B4C Coated Scintillators

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Anton Bodahl; [2016]
    Keywords : B4C; Scintillators; Coincidence Measurements; LIBAF; Homogenity Measurements; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The characteristics of Boron Carbide (B4C) coated polyvinyltoluene scintillators with a sputtered B4C coating ranging between 200 and 1000 nm have been studied using a photomultiplier - Lanthanum Bromide detector setup with a PuBe neutron source. The raw data from the detectors was analysed by imposing a detector coincidence condition. READ MORE
