Establishment of Rapid X-ray Diffraction Inspection Techniques for Residual Stresses.

Abstract

An automatic stress analyzer has been used for rapid measurement of residual stresses in track pins and torsion tubes. With this equipment measurements can be made from ten to one-hundred times faster than with conventional equipment. The equipment is a recent development and few are in existence. A unique feature of the unit at TARADCOM is that it has been interfaced with a computer for purposes of drawing isostress plots.
