Abstract

Neutron diffraction has been used as tool for measuring stress fields (type-I stresses) and intergranular or microstresses (type-II stresses) for a decade. The experimental methods for measuring the two types of stresses are outlined. Emphasis is placed on maximizing the precision and accuracy of the measurements. Some serious sources of error in measurements near surfaces and some subtle wavelength effects are considered.
