Abstract Scope |
Synchrotron X-rays provide a powerful probe to non-destructively measure elastic lattice strains inside crystalline materials. Critically, an attractive combination of spatial resolution and measurement efficiency enables researchers to evaluate the 3D residual stress within parts through mapping of these elastic lattice strains. Optimized for X-ray diffraction of metals, the Structural Materials Beamline (SMB) routinely measures residual stress in parts with complex geometries using both angle-dispersive and energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction. SMB is part of the Materials Solutions Network at CHESS (MSN-C): a sub-facility of CHESS created to provide critical measurements and research products to the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) ecosystem. SMB has focused on the development of standards, automation, hardware, and maturing measurement and analysis workflows to transform X-ray techniques from specialized tools into accessible engineering solutions for industry. Current capabilities will be presented with results for an additively manufactured part with complex geometry. |
