Extract

An unexplained anomalous sin2ψ split in x-ray stress measurements has consistently resulted from the use of Cr Kα radiation with nickel and austenitic stainless steels. Both, materials have diffraction peaks at low back-reflection angles for this radiation (nickel: 20 ⋍ 134°, austenitic stainless steel: 20 ⋍ 128°). The anomalous split is not evident when the measurements are made using Cr Kβ radiation, In an attempt to explain the errors produced by the Cr Kα radiation, focusing circle effects were analyzed and compared to experimental measurements made with both Cr Kα and Cr Kβ radiation on nickel-based samples,
