Abstract CARPENTER STAINLESS 18Cr-2Ni-12Mn is a high-manganese, nitrogen-strengthened austenitic stainless steel with an excellent combination of toughness, ductility, strength, fabricability and corrosion resistance. It provides substantially higher yield and tensile strengths than AISI Type 304 and is comparable to Type 304 in corrosion resistance in many environments. It can be machined, cold worked, and welded using the same equipment and methods used for the conventional AISI 300 series austenitic stainless steels. It is nonmagnetic as annealed and after severe cold work. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: SS-366. Producer or source: Carpenter.

The effective neutron absorption cross section of Xe135 has been measured with a mass spectrometer by observing the variation in the Cs135/Cs137 fission yield ratio obtained at various thermal neutron fluxes. Values of 3.15 ± 0.06 megabarns and 3.27 ± 0.11 megabarns have been determined for neutron temperatures of 120 °C and 137 °C respectively.

Borehole neutron measurements are routinely used for in situ rock assessment in hydrocarbon reservoirs. We have used gadolinium oxide nanoparticles for enhancing the sensitivity of macroscopic thermal neutron absorption cross-section (Sigma) measurements of rocks. The gadolinium-based doping agent is used due to its exceptionally high neutron absorption cross section, low cost, and availability; it is also shown to preserve or enhance the differentiation between pore fluids. Injected from a pilot well, the doping agent could thus substantially improve the precision of Sigma-derived saturation measurements. Computational modeling verifies that modest gadolinium concentrations in the rock’s pore volume give rise to significant enhancement of reported Sigma: A concentration of 1750 weight ppm is shown to offer superior contrast enhancement across a wide range of rock solid and fluid compositions. Preliminary experimental work confirms the reported effects obtained with computational modeling of gadolinium doping in simulated porous rocks.

The absolute fission yields of the cesium isotopes occurring in the thermal neutron fission of U235 have been determined with a mass spectrometer using isotope dilution techniques. Values of 6.59%, 6.41%, and 6.15% have been obtained for the yields of Cs133, Cs135, and Cs137 respectively. The neutron absorption cross section of Xe135 has also been measured to be 866 times greater than that of B10 for a Maxwellian distribution of neutron velocities corresponding to a neutron temperature of 57 °C. This ratio gives a thermal neutron absorption cross section of 3.47 × 106 barns for Xe135 assuming it is a 1/ν detector.
