Back Focused Ion Beam Preparation of Aluminum Alloy Microscopy Specimens

Fiscal Year 2011
Division Graduate School of Engineering & Applied Science
Department Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering
Investigator(s) Brewer, Luke N.
Sponsor Naval Surface Warfare Center-Carderock Division (Navy)
Summary This proposal is for funding to prepare transmission electron microscopy specimens of aluminum alloys materials. The focused ion beam at the Naval Postgraduate School will be used to make site-specific specimens from aluminum alloy 5456 that has received ultrasonic impact treatment. These specimens will be delivered to Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division to subsequent microscopy.
