Stress Measurement in Stainless Steel by use of Monochromatic Cr-Kβ X-Rays and a Position Sensitive Detector
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 March 2019
Extract
X-ray stress analysis in austenltic stainless steel is generally carried out on the ϒFe(311) diffraction line produced by Cr- Kβ X-rays. However, it is often pointed out that not much reliance can be placed on the precision of the stress because the contrast between a diffraction peak and its background is poor. In addition, to measure the stress is sometimes impossible on a specimen which has martensite structure produced by thes train induced transformation, because the ϒFe(211) line appears in the neighborhood of the desired ϒFe(311) line, since Cr-K6 X-rays accompany Cr-Ka from a conventional X-ray source. If Cr-Ka X-rays can be eliminated and only Cr-KB X-rays directed on the specimen, only the λe(311) line with high contrast will be obtained and one can expect to measure the residual stress with high precision.
