Study of additive manufacturing products using neutron imaging

Abstract

The article presents the results of studies of additively manufactured metal samples using neutron imaging at the IR-8 research reactor of the National Research Center “Kurchatov Institute” (NRC KI). The advantages and disadvantages of neutron imaging using monochromatic (DRAGON station) and polychromatic (PONI tomograph) neutrons when studying internal structure of the samples are demonstrated.
