Residual Stress Analysis

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is presently the only accurate way to non-destructively measure residual stress. In addition, XRD offers non-contact measurements with unsurpassed spatial resolution and the ability to measure hardened materials. Residual stress, of either exceptionally strained points or the surfaces of moving parts, is routinely determined by XRD. To meet the requirements of these tasks, Rigaku offers several systems to allow flexible component and sample handling for every budget and need.
