Non-destructive determination of residual strains/stresses and microstresses in polycrystalline materials by means of neutron diffraction
A Czech research institute offers non-destructive neutron diffraction technique for determination of residual elastic lattice strains/stresses as well as microstrains/microstresses in polycrystalline materials. The former technique enables to analyse the residual stress state e.g. after welding, the later method helps to study e.g. deformation mechanisms or degradation processes after mechanical, thermal or cyclic loading. Commercial, research or technical collaboration is sought.
