Measurement of Phase Stress in Engineering Components by Neutron and X-ray Diffraction

Glass Studied by Neutron and X-Ray Diffraction

The short-range order of K P 0 3 glass has been studied by diffraction methods in order to make evident the different behaviour of the P-O bonds within the P 0 4 tetrahedron. The oxygen sites are devided into bridging and terminal (non-bridging) oxygen sites, corresponding to two P 0 bond lengths, the difference of which amounts to 14.5 pm. Previous conclusions about the changes of the P 0 bond...

Surface Hardness Measurment and Microstructural Characterisation of Steel by X-Ray Diffraction Profile Analysis

An X-ray diffraction line will broaden considerably when steels change into martensitic structure on quenching. The results presented in this paper show that X-ray diffraction technique can be employed for a rapid and nondestructive measurement of hardness of hardened steel. Measurement on various quenched and tempered steels showed that the breadth of its diffraction peak increased with increa...

Phase-targeted X-ray diffraction

A powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) method to enhance the signal of a specific crystalline phase within a mixture is presented for the first time. Specificity to the targeted phase relies on finding coincidences in the ratios of crystal d spacings and the ratios of elemental characteristic X-ray energies. Such coincidences can be exploited so that the two crystal planes diffract through the same s...

EVALUATION OFDISLOCATION STRUCTURE AND CRYSTALLITE SIZE IN WORN AL-SI ALLOY BY X-RAY DIFFRACTION

Abstract: powerful method for the characterization of microstructures of crystalline materials in terms of crystallite size anddislocation structures. In this paper the effect of the sliding on the microstructure of A356 in the as-cast and heattreated conditions are studied, The X-ray phase analysis shows that with increasing applied load, the dislocationdensity is increased, whereas the crysta...
