Characterisation of metallic powder impregnated pastes using polychromatic X-radiography (2008)
Journal Article
Austin, J. C., Day, C. R., Kearon, A. T., Valussi, S., & Haycock, P. W. (2008). Characterisation of metallic powder impregnated pastes using polychromatic X-radiography. Insight - Non-Destructive Testing & Condition Monitoring, 50(10), 550-553. https://doi.org/10.1784/insi.2008.50.10.550

This article reports on the employment of X-radiography using the bremsstrahlung of a commercial broad-spectrum X-ray source to quantify the differences and relationships between complex materials of unknown composition. The materials examined were m... Read More about Characterisation of metallic powder impregnated pastes using polychromatic X-radiography.
