Use of Radioactive Beams of 7Be Nuclei to Study the Wear Resistance of Materials

  • Published:
Atomic Energy Aims and scope

This work is devoted to the use of beams of radioactive nuclei for applied purposes – to study the wearresistance of materials used in different industries. The crux of the method is that the radioactive nuclei obtained in the nuclear reactions 1H(7Li, 7Be) and 1H(10B, 7Be) are implanted in the experimental sample. After implantation of the nuclei, the sample undergoes wear tests. The γ-radiation of the implanted nuclei is high-energy; the spectrum is comparatively simple and does not produce appreciable radiation damage in the test samples. The method has been successfully tested in determining the wear-resistance of machine parts and mechanisms.
