The room temperature residual stress of 4H-SiC wafers has been investigated using a precise X-ray diffraction method. A large strain was observed for the circumferential direction of wafers, more than ten times larger than those measured along the principal plane direction and the radial direction. Optimizing the lateral temperature distribution in growing crystals leads to reduction of residual stress of wafers with high crystal quality.

Water cavitation peening (WCP) with aeration is a novel surface enhancement method. A new ventilation nozzle with aeration is adopted to improve the process capability of WCP by increasing the impact pressure induced by the bubble collapse on the surface of components. In this study, in order to investigate the process capability of the WCP with aeration, a standard N-type almen strips of spring steel SAE 1070 was treated by WCP with various process conditions, and the arc height value and the residual stress in the superficial layers were measured by X-ray diffraction method. The optimal fluxes of aeration and the optimal standoff distances were achieved.

In the present study Bi6Fe2Ti3O18 (BFTO) ceramics has been fabricated by solid state reaction from the mixture of simple oxides viz. Bi2O3, TiO2 and Fe2O3. Stoichiometric mixture of the powders was thermally analyzed so parameters of the thermal treatment were determined. The EDS measurements have shown conservation of the chemical composition of the ceramic powder after calcination. Hot-pressing method was used for final densification of ceramic samples. The crystalline structure of the sintered samples was examined by X-ray diffraction method at room temperature. It was found that BFTO ceramics sintered at T=980 °C adopted the orthorhombic structure of Aba2 (41) space group with the following elementary cell parameters: a=5.4567(2)Å, b=49.418(2) and c=5.4826(2). Details concerning the atom’s positions are presented.

ABSTRACTA quantitative determination of interface (Ks) and volume anisotropy {?ψ) constants of MBE and sputtered CO/Pt Multilayers is reported. Torque and VSM Magnetometry were used to determine the total average anisotropy and the room temperature magnetization of four different series of films with varying Co thickness and nearly constant Pt thickness. All films were characterized with X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence, allowing the determination of the “Magnetic” volume with good accuracy. Both Ks and Jeff are found to be orientation dependent. We find the following results for MBE films grown on Ag buffered GaAs substrates and highly < 111 > textured films, grown on etched SiNx buffers:(111) Ks = 0.97mJ/m2, Kveff =-0.74MJ/m3 MBE(111) Ks = 0.92mJ/m2, Kveff =-l.lIMJ/m3 sputtered(110) Ks = 0.42mJ/m2, Kveff =-l.95MJ/m3 MBE(001) Ks = 0.59mJ/m2, Kveff =-5.98MJ/m3 MBEThe [110]-oriented MBE films show in addition a large (intrinsic) in-plane anisotropy constant K‖0≃-3MJ/m3 which is found to be independent of the Co thickness. [100] is the easy and [110] the hard in-plane direction.

The conventional Bragg diffraction geometry, normally used to characterize the residual surface stress state, it is not suitable to evaluate surface treated materials and thin films. The X-ray path lengths through a surface layer or thin film are too short to produce adequate diffraction intensities in relation to the bulk or the substrate. Another limitation of the conventional technique appears when a residual stress gradient is present in the irradiated surface. The technique only enables the evaluation of the mean value of this gradient. In these cases, a recently proposed Pseudo-Grazing Incident X-ray Diffraction method would be better applicable. In this study, the Pseudo-Grazing Incidence X-ray Diffraction is applied to characterize the residual stress depth profiles of several AISI 4140 samples, which were prepared, by mechanical polishing and grinding, in order to present different surface roughness parameters, Ra. The experimental results lead to the conclusion that the surface roughness limits the application of the Pseudo-Grazing Incidence methodology to a minimum X-ray incident angle. This angle is the one that enables a mean X-ray penetration depth with the same order of magnitude of the sample surface roughness parameter, Ra.

Welding residual stress has important influence on the performance of engineering components. In this paper, the residual stress and FWHM were measured by X-ray diffraction method to investigate characteristics for P92 steel welds. The aim of the study is to estimate the residual stress and FWHM distribution characteristics. A compressive residual stress distributed as a function of depth has a different pattern in welds and base metal. A large tensile residual stress occurs welds and near the HAZ, but approaches gradually zero as away from the welding center. Residual stress and FWHM undergo rapid relaxation after PWHT. Also, FWHM is a scalar quantity without any directional difference and is proportional to hardness on the whole.

The residual stress tensor for cracked austenitic stainless steel was measured by a two-dimensional X-ray diffraction method. Higher von Mises equivalent stress concentrations, attributed to hot crack initiation, were obtained at both crack ends. The stress of 400 MPa at the crack end in the columnar grain region was about two-fold larger than that of 180 MPa in the equiaxed grain region. This difference was caused by a depression in the cast slab.
