Neutron diffraction provides one of the few means of mapping residual stresses deep within
the bulk of materials and components. This article reviews the basic scientific methodology …

The load carrying capacity of the eutectic Si in Al Si alloys depends on its volume fraction,
distribution, morphology and connectivity, namely its internal architecture. This can be …

Aluminum–TiB2 composites reinforced with 5–20vol.% ceramic particles were prepared by
powder metallurgy (PM) method. Hot isostatic pressing was employed to consolidate the …

In this work, a novel method for determination of the stress tensor for groups of grains having
preferred texture orientations and Critical Resolved Shear Stresses (CRSSs) necessary for …

A new method for determining the parameters characterising elastoplastic deformation of
two-phase material is proposed. The method is based on the results of neutron diffraction …

In this research, copper nanocomposites reinforced by graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) were
fabricated using a wet mixing method followed by a classical powder metallurgy route. In …

High-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction was used to measure the internal strain evolution
in the matrix and reinforcement of steel-based metal matrix composites reinforced with …

Macro hybridized systems consisting of steel encapsulated metal matrix composites (MMCs)
were produced with the goal of creating a low cost/light weight system with enhanced …

Intergranular strains due to tensile plastic deformation were investigated in a commercially
pure Ti. Neutron diffraction has been used to characterize the evolution of residual elastic …

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of laser beam scanning on residual
