X-ray diffractometer designed for industrial applications at SPring-8 BL24XU.
An X-ray diffractometer for industrial applications has been designed, installed at SPring-8 BL24XU and tested by measuring a standard Al(2)O(3) powder sample. The measurement results prove the high precision of the diffractometer. The diffractometer was also tested by conducting grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction measurements of ion-implanted chromium-coated steel. The validity of a new method for X-ray stress measurements of polished stainless steel is also proposed and confirmed. The results prove the suitability of this diffractometer for industrial applications.
