  • Non-destructive testing systems and methods
    Patent number: 8477905
    Abstract: A system and method for non-destructively determining the grain orientation of a crystalline material using x-ray diffraction techniques to non-destructively analyze material and, more particularly, to a system and method for determining the grain orientation of an underlying crystalline material covered by an overlying polycrystalline material. Further, the system and method relate to the use of x-ray diffraction to non-destructively characterize parts and components to determine whether to accept or reject those components or parts for use in application.
    Type: Grant
