Repeatability Statistics of Metallic Alloy 316 (austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel)
In all metallic alloys, certain material specifications are set forth to accurately classify the particular metal blend in question. stainless steel is one of the most commonly used metal alloys in the market today, and as such, many variations have been developed from the base mixture for more specialized uses. This particular stainless steel 316 standard was designed with extra additions of chrome for improved corrosion resistance against chlorine. Its most common uses today are mainly in pharmaceutical and food production related equipment, but it is also called "marine grade" steel for its uses in maritime vessel production.

Micro analysis of inclusions in copper wire
Wire failures due to inclusions in the body of the wires are examined using the ZSX Primus Mapping/Micro Analysis feature. The CCD camera within the XRF unit allows for images to be taken thereby letting the user determine where the analysis should take place on the sample via a point and click function.

X-ray microdiffraction for residual stress determination
X-ray diffraction provides a direct measurement of residual strain on a material by directly measuring the expansion or compression of lattice plane spacings in the grains of the material. X-ray diffraction is a non-destructive and widely accepted method for the measurement of strain. Residual stress is computed from the measured residual strain.

Retained Austenite Analysis
Steels and steel alloys are an essential component in many everyday applications. Quality control is crucial to maintaining the structural stability of these materials. During the processing of these heat-treated steel alloys, austenite may be retained which could weaken the overall structural integrity of the material used to build our buildings, cars, bridges and much more.

Texture analysis of NiW alloy
Textured NiW alloy is commonly used as a substrate material for the deposition of superconducting material, either for tape fabrication or for superconducting electronics. The interaction between the weakly ferromagnetic NiW and the superconductor is important for the applications, but is sensitive to the texture of the NiW substrate.

Structural changes of a Whistler alloy due to heat treatment
Thin film X-ray diffraction can be used to study variations in surface and interface states caused by heat treatment, as well as changes in crystal structure.
Using the in-plane method available with Rigaku's Ultima IV multipurpose diffraction system, temperature-dependent behavior of a Whistler alloy100 nm thin film (Co2MnGe) on a silicon substrate with oxide thin film was studied, as well as the creation of a hetero phase due to heat treatment.

High-resolution stress and texture measurements
Automated alignment makes the Ultima IV simple to use for stress and texture measurements. The on-demand in-plane scattering capability made possible by CBO offers two distinct advantages when compared to traditional pole figure measurements.
