Texture and stress analysis and crystal orientation determn. method - involves exposing specimen to x-rays and measuring radiation from specimen with energy resolution detector at various output angles

摘要

The specimen is exposed to x-radiation and the radiation emanating from the specimen is measured by an energy resolving detector at different output angles, which are varied in steps and at which the detector is arranged wrt. the specimen surface. The specimen is stepwise rotated at various rotation angles about the normal to the surface. The intensity maxima of the electrical output signals are measured. The specimen is exposed to polychromatic primary radiation, and the specimen tilt is 0 deg. for all measurements. ADVANTAGE-Ensures that region of specimen does not change during texture and stress analysis and enables essentially more rapid determination of unknown crystal orientations than conventional techniques.
