Course: Advanced practical course mechanical engineering: Materials analysis using X-rays

With special methods using X-rays, a number of important material and component properties can be determined non-destructively. These include the atomic structure and the microstructure of the materials used as well as the proportions of different phases, but also residual stresses and textures. Because this allows the strength, service life and failure of components to be realistically assessed, these methods have become very important in industrial practice.
In the course of the practical course, the fundamentals of the methods are discussed and deepened in the course of own experiments.
