Unveiling Hidden Stresses: The Power of X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) Testing in Evaluating Residual Stresses in Hydropower Materials.

X-ray Diffraction is a scientific technique used to evaluate the internal structure of materials. It is based on the phenomenon of the interference of X-ray waves when they impinge on a crystalline sample. This technique has proven to be especially valuable in characterizing the crystalline structure of various materials, including those used in hydroelectric plants.
