PROSPECTS OF USING SYNCHROTRON RADIATION FOR DIAGNOSTICS OF THE STRUCTURAL-PHASE COMPOSITION OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS

Diagnostics of the structure of materials is necessary for determining subsequent technological operations in the production of fi nished products. In the present paper, we propose to use synchrotron radiation for investigating the phase composition of metal-ceramic coatings with a titanium alloy as a matrix and powdered titanium boride as reinforcing elements. A comparison of the results obtained from the diff raction of x-ray tube radiation (Cu) and synchrotron radiation has shown that when it is necessary to determine the phases containing light elements (in the present case B), diff raction of synchrotron radiation makes it possible to unambiguously reveal TiB in the resulting coating, whereas diff raction of x-ray tube radiation could not allow unambiguous interpretation of results. Thus, the advantage of the synchrotron radiation in diff raction studies has been shown.
