Abstract

X-ray residual stress measurements have been made with a commercial portable X-ray diffraction apparatus that uses parallel beam optics and that was specifically designed for residual stress measurements. This machine differs from X-ray diffraction units using the usual parafocusing geometry in several respects, most notably reduced sample placement errors and larger sample sizes that can be accommodated. Two special modes of operation are available and will be discussed. These are the ability to use the side inclining method for stress analysis and the ability to use an oscillating ψ motion, the latter mode being useful for examining large grain size materials.
