1. Experimental studies of radiation damage in uranium nitride
University essay from KTH/FysikAbstract : The effect of proton (H+) irradiation on uranium mononitride (UN) and UN compositefuel with 10 at.% ZrN (UN10at%ZrN) was examined. Protons of 2 MeV with fluences of1E17, 1E18, 1E19 and 1E20 ions/cm2 were accelerated towards the fabricated samples in orderto investigate the evolution of the micro-structure. READ MORE

2. Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) Analysis and Predicted Physical Properties of Shocked Quartz from the Chicxulub Impact Crater, Mexico
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : As one of the most common minerals in crustal rocks, quartz has been widely used as an indicator for shock metamorphism. Shocked quartz is found in the Chicxulub impact crater, an impact crater that has been linked to the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction ~66 million years ago. READ MORE

3. Effect of post-treatment of cemented carbide : Microstructural investigation and evaluation of mechanical properties of cemented carbide inserts for rock tool applications
University essay from Karlstads universitet/Avdelningen för maskin- och materialteknikAbstract : Cemented carbides are used in rock tool applications by reason of their beneficial mechanical properties, i.e. a combination of high toughness, wear resistance and hardness. The cemented carbides commonly receive their hardness from tungsten carbides (WC) whereas cobalt (Co) is the dominating binder material. READ MORE

4. Iron and Oxygen Isotope Signatures of Magnetite in Iron Ore of Kiruna Type
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mineralogi, petrologi och tektonikAbstract : Stable isotope analysis of iron and oxygen isotopes in magnetite of Kiruna-type from Sweden and Chile have been conducted to further the understanding of the formation, and advance the analysis methods of these deposits. For this, data from SIMS (secondary ion mass spectroscopy), EBSD (electron backscatter diffraction) and triple oxygen analysis (by laser fluorination) are used. READ MORE

5. Influence of microstructure on surface characteristics in cold-deformed stainless steel tubes
University essay from Lunds universitet/MaterialteknikAbstract : Cold deformation of metals is known to induce roughness on their free surface. In some of the processing equipment of Tetra Pak processing systems, tubes of austenitic stainless steel 316L are used. During the production of this processing equipment, such tubes are occasionally cold-deformed. READ MORE
