Standardization of Cosα Method for X-Ray Stress Measurement

Article Preview

Abstract:

Performing X-ray stress measurement by a new method called the cosα method is spreading in Japan. The cosα method is characterized in that the entire diffraction ring is used and analysed. As a result, the measurement speed is fast, and the device can be downsized. On the other hand, the conventional sin2ψ method requires precise measurement of diffracted X-rays at several X-ray incident angles, which increases the measurement time and the size of the device. In addition, since only a small part of the diffraction ring generated during the X-ray irradiation is used, some of the information on the diffraction ring cannot be used so it is a wasteful method. In 2012, cosα method equipment was released in Japan. Since then, cosα method X-ray stress measurements have been performed at more than 300 facilities. In response to this situation, the Japan Society for Nondestructive Inspection (JSNDI) together with public and private institutions established a study group on the cosα method in 2014, and examined the cosα method and its appropriate use. In this paper, we report the results of this study group.
