A commercially available image scanner and image-analysis software enabled to statistically analze the diameters of the huge number of apertures in the flat C/C grids. This measurement method was applied to the accelerator grids of mu10 ion engine after the 20,000 hour endurance test and mu20 ion engine under ion machining in 30 hours. As a result, it was revealed that the erosion distribution of the mu10 grid had the azimuthal dependence. Moreover, we obtained the design guide for the next mu20 accelerator grid, to make the apertures with tapered shape on the side of upstream., 形態: カラー図版あり, Physical characteristics: Original contains color illustrations, 資料番号: AA0064642007, レポート番号: JAXA-RR-09-004}, title = {イメージスキャナを用いた平板C/Cグリッド孔径の統計的分析}, year = {2010} }
