Boron steel nondestructive testing is of vital importance for the industrial production of boron steel plate to guarantee the product quality and production standards. This paper proposes a new kind of boron steel nondestructive detection scheme based on neutron radiation detection. We take advantage of the interaction between neutrons and boron steel media, to check whether the content of 10B in the product is qualified, uniformity meets the requirements, and whether there is a big flaw. Nondestructive testing scheme designed in this paper, using the neutron and 10B in boron steel plate has a larger reaction cross section. By receiving and counting the mount of neutron when they go through the stainless steel plate via neutron detector, we can conclude the reduction of neutrons and then calculated the content of 10B in products. This scheme sets polyethylene reflection at the bottom of the boron steel plate, on the one hand to strengthen the neutron count that the neutron radiation detector received by the reflection effect, on the other hand, can avoid defects like the opposite side receiving brings larger device volume, maneuver and others. This design provides a feasible technology and route for boron steel plate nondestructive testing.

After materials with superconducting temperatures higher than liquid nitrogen have been prepared, more emphasis has been on increasing the current densities (Jc) of high Tc superconductors than finding new materials with higher transition temperatures. Different processing techniques i.e thin films, shock wave processing, neutron radiation etc. have been applied in order to increase Jc. Microstructural studies of compounds thus prepared have shown either a decrease in gram boundaries that act as weak-links or increase in defect structure that act as flux-pinning centers. We have studied shock wave synthesized Tl-Ba-Cu-O and shock wave processed Y-123 superconductors with somewhat different properties compared to those prepared by solid-state reaction. Here we report the defect structures observed in the shock-processed Y-124 superconductors.
