X-ray diffraction studies of laser-shocked crystals by McGonegle, D

“…This technique is applied to two different experiments on tantalum. The first provides a measurement of the timescale for plastic deformation, which we find similar to comparable experiments in copper, while the second provides the first <em>in situ</em> of observation of twinning in shock compressed metal.…”

Experimental characterization of a single-shot spectrometer for high-flux, GeV-scale gamma-ray beams by N. Cavanagh, K. Fleck, M. J. V. Streeter, E. Gerstmayr, L. T. Dickson, C. Ballage, R. Cadas, L. Calvin, S. Dobosz Dufrénoy, I. Moulanier, L. Romagnani, O. Vasilovici, A. Whitehead, A. Specka, B. Cros, G. Sarri

“…The spectrometer has been experimentally characterized using a bremsstrahlung source obtained at the Apollon laser facility during the interaction of laser-wakefield accelerated electron beams (maximum energy of 1.7 GeV and overall charge of 207±62 pC) with a 1 mm thick tantalum target. Experimental data confirms the possibility of performing single-shot measurements, without the need for accumulation, with a high signal-to-noise ratio. …”

Metallographical and Thermodynamic Investigation of the Microstructures at 1200°C of TaC–Containing Co–Based Alloys by Patrice Berthod

“…Among the wide variety of current metallic structural materials able to work at elevated temperatures in severe chemical and mechanical conditions, some superalloys based on cobalt play a particular role: the ones rich in chromium for resisting hot corrosion by gases and melts and strengthened by tantalum carbides. They are able to demonstrate good behavior in contact of molten salts or glasses and simultaneously under mechanical stresses. …”

Kinetics of rafting in a single crystal superalloy: effects of residual microsegregation by Reed, R, Cox, D, Rae, C

“…Since the important γ' forming elements aluminium and tantalum are known to partition interdendritically causing an enhanced γ' fraction, it is suggested that the correspondingly smaller γ channel width so caused is responsible for the greater resistance to rafting displayed by the interdendritic regions. © 2007 Institute of Materials, Minarals and Mining.…”
