X-RAY DIFFRACTION

Elements of X-Ray Diffraction (3rd edition)

B.D. Cullity et al., Prentice Hall, 2001
Review: The purpose of this book is to provide information for the reader who has no previous knowledge of x-ray diffraction theory and is intended for students, not advanced researchers. It is the standard undergraduate text used at many universities. It should be useful for engineers, metallurgists, chemists, physicists, etc., namely, all who use x-ray diffraction as an analysis tool. The book is divided into three main parts: fundamentals, experimental methods, and applications. It also includes a chapter on the measurement of residual stress, as well as many useful tables and appendices. Highly recommended for the beginner!

X-Ray Diffraction

B.E. Warren, Addison Wesley, 1969
Review: The material presented in this book is an outgrowth of a series of lectures given to graduate students in physics and metallurgy at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The emphasis is on a rigorous development of basic diffraction theory. The treatment is carried far enough to relate to experimentally observable quantities. Most of the book is devoted to the application of x-ray diffraction methods to non-structural problems such as temperature vibration effects, order-disorder, crystal imperfections, the structure of amorphous materials, and the diffraction of perfect crystals. Experimental apparatus and procedures, low-angle scattering, stress analysis, and texture have been omitted. A robust theoretical reference.

X-Ray Diffraction Procedures for Polycrystalline and Amorphous Materials (2nd Edition)

H.P. Klug and L.E. Alexander, Wiley-Interscience, 1974
Review: This book features both theoretical information and practical guidelines pertaining to crystallography and crystal x-ray diffraction. The authors' desire was to err on the side of too much detail in presenting basic techniques, procedures, and applications; thus, simple steps in mathematical derivations are always included. The book assumes no special knowledge of crystallography and x-rays on the part of the reader. Simple as well as more advanced examples are used to illustrate concepts and procedures. A particularly desirable reference.

Structure of Metals: Crystallographic Methods, Principles, and Data (3rd revised edition)

(International Series on Materials Science and Technology, volume 35)
C. Barrett and T.B. Massalski, Pergamon Press, 1980
Review: The book presents the methods most used in determining structures and defects in crystalline and non-crystalline materials, introduces the standard nomenclature used, and summarizes the nature and theories describing the most important structures. Transformations from one crystal structure to another are also treated. It is intended to be used as a convenient reference volume to serve metallurgists, materials scientists, chemists, and physicists at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. Included are the fundamentals of crystal lattices and symmetry, information on the reciprocal lattice and diffraction, experimental methods, and some results of research. A very useful reference.

RESIDUAL STRESS MEASUREMENT

Residual Stress: Measurement by Diffraction and Interpretation

I.C. Noyan and J.B. Cohen, Springer-Verlag, 1987
Review: This book is intended to give the reader a firm foundation in the theory of residual stress measurement with diffraction, as well as a comprehensive understanding of the experimental concepts involved in carrying out such a measurement. It is written for engineers, scientists, and students in a discipline that requires experimental non-destructive stress analysis and covers elasticity/plasticity, the separation of macro and micro residual stress, and experimental measurement techniques and errors. A must-have for the diffraction experimentalist!

Structural and Residual Stress Analysis by Nondestructive Methods

V. Hauk, H. Behnken, Ch. Genzel, W. Pfeiffer, L. Pintschovius, W. Reimers, E. Schneider, B. Scholtes, and W.A. Theiner, Elsevier Health Sciences, 1997
Review: The authors of this book aimed to provide a comprehensive review of the non-destructive techniques for strain measurement and stress evaluation. They describe the underlying physical principles, instruments used, data acquisition approaches, and evaluation strategies for experimental methods including XRD, neutron diffraction, and ultrasonic and micromagnetic techniques. The largest part of the book is devoted to XRD stress analysis in which simple methods are inapplicable or lead to questionable results: i.e., where samples have texture, strong plastic deformation, or very steep stress gradients. The book contains valuable hints and recommendations and addresses many unsettled questions and difficult problems in this field. An excellent resource for an advanced understanding of XRD stress measurement results.

Handbook of Residual Stress and Deformation in Steel

ASM International, 2002
Review: The editors of this book have addressed the contributing factors to steel deformation problems by examining material, machining, heating, and cooling effects. The handbook contains 27 articles divided into 5 sections: Effects of Materials and Processing, Measurement and Prediction of Residual Stress and Distortion, Residual Stress Formation and Shaping of Materials, Residual Stress During Hardening Processes, and Residual Stress Formation During Manufacturing Processes. The effects of residual stress on fatigue behavior, surface coatings, crack initiation and propagation, relaxation due to thermal mechanical treatment and cyclic deformation, and many others are presented. A great compilation of practical examples and case studies.

SEM Handbook of Measurement of Residual Stress

SEM, Fairmont Press, 1996
Review: The purpose of this book is to familiarize metallurgists, materials scientists, and design and manufacturing engineers with recent developments in residual stress measurement techniques and to help them determine which technique(s) are most appropriate for any given scenario. Twenty-four authors from six countries have contributed nine chapters, which discuss various measuring techniques: hole drilling, layer removal, sectioning, x-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, ultrasonic methods, and magnetic methods. This is a very comprehensive resource.

ASM Handbook, Volume 11: Failure Analysis and Prevention

ASM International, 2002
Review: This volume examines the complex, varied, and sometimes unanticipated nature of failure and presents prevention strategies that are often multifaceted. This new edition contains over 50 new articles with expanded coverage on the 4 basic types of failure: deformation, fracture, corrosion, and wear. It describes a variety of tools and techniques (including x-ray diffraction) for effective planning, organization, implementation, and conclusion of a failure investigation through proper interpretation of information. A must-have for anyone involved in failure analysis!

Review: This is the North American standard for experimentally measuring the effective x-ray elastic parameter using x-ray diffraction techniques. A widely accepted standard.

SAE HS784, Residual Stress Measurement by X-ray Diffraction

SAE, 1971
Review: This reference was intended to bring together what the Society of Automotive Engineers Iron and Steel Technical Committee considered to be the most important aspects of x-ray diffraction residual stress measurement techniques. It places much importance on the theoretical aspects of x-ray diffraction, and provides guidance as to how these aspects may be applied to real measurements. A good basic reference that is easily understood and applied.

SAE SP-453, Retained Austenite and Its Measurement by X-Ray Diffraction

SAE, 1980
Review: This manual considers two aspects of the retained austenite problem: methods for its control and techniques for its measurement. Basic calculations and theory are presented. It also includes ideas on the origin of retained austenite and its measurements by x-ray diffraction, results of round robin studies, and techniques to use when dealing with texture or coarse grain size. A nice reference to have.
