Abstract

Multi-energetic gamma-ray absorption coefficients in austenitic, ferritic and martensitic stainless steel materials have been determined using an experimental method based on fast neutron activation in a cyclotron accelerator and a Monte Carlo calculational method which consists of simulating the induced gamma-photon processes in the same materials. Calibration curves representing variation of the γ-ray absorption coefficient vs the carbon, nickel and chromium percentages of stainless steel standards were established. Carbon, nickel and chromium percentages as well as corrosion resistance of different stainless steel samples have been determined and compared with literature data.
