Technical Meeting on Commercial Products and Services of
Research Reactors

28 June–2 July, 2010, IAEA, Vienna

The determination of residual stress states within the volume of an industrial component is of special interest during the optimization phase of production processes and sample design to validate materials/components/process models. Similar questions often occur during failure analyses to prove hypotheses about the damage origin. Diffractometric methods can be looked upon as the reference techniques for the entity of residual stress determination tools and structure-mechanical simulations.
