A non-destructive analytical technique used to identify the crystalline structure, phases and residual stresses within materials.
X-Ray Diffraction Testing (XRD) is a materials characterization technique that uses the diffraction of X-rays by crystalline structures to identify material phases, determine crystallographic properties, measure residual stresses and evaluate microstructural characteristics. XRD is widely used in materials engineering, metallurgy, corrosion studies and failure investigations.
X-Ray Diffraction Testing characterizes crystalline materials by analysing the diffraction patterns produced by X-rays.
X-Ray Diffraction Testing is commonly used to identify corrosion products, determine crystalline phases, evaluate heat treatment effects and support metallurgical investigations following equipment failures or material degradation.
X-Ray Diffraction Testing identifies crystalline structures and material phases, whereas X-Ray Fluorescence Testing determines the elemental composition of materials.
