In this application study residual stress measurements performed with Xstress DR45 and Xstress G2R systems were compared. The measurements were done on a Jominy test bar that is used to test the hardenability of a material.
An X-ray diffractometer, or XRD machine, is a device for analyzing and measuring the structure of materials.
In this application X-ray diffraction was used to measure line profiles of surface residual stress across sample weld zones on aerospace materials.
In this application residual stresses on ground camshaft lobes were measured with Barkhausen noise and X-ray diffraction methods.
In this application, the grinding of a crankshaft journal was checked for unfavorable stresses due to overheating during grinding, also known as grinding burn.
MBN is quantitative, repeatable, non-destructive, and it is easily automated, thus removing operator influence as a variable.
Residual stress measurement is one essential way to find out if the component can withstand the demanding load and stress conditions in its service life.
