Neutron Imaging and X-ray radiography are complementary methods from the point of view of the visibility and contrast of the material imaged. One potential application is the observation of the behavior of so-called ‘metal composite materials’, in which metallic and light material parts are combined. This material type is commonly used in the aerospace industry. Neutron Imaging is a suitable tool for the observation of the structure of light materials in an environment of heavier elements like metals. X-ray radiography on other hand is an appropriate tool for the observation of geometry of metal components inside an environment of lighter materials.
