Abstract

The availability of high-energy synchrotron beamlines has made it possible to study the development of elastic strain in crystalline phases in metallic-glass-matrix composites in situ during loading, and to measure elastic strain in amorphous materials as well. In this paper, we discuss experimental techniques and data analysis for these measurements and give examples. We show that the strain in both the amorphous and crystalline phases in a metallic-glass-matrix composite can be extracted from a single scattering pattern.
