Conclusions
The application of neutron diffraction to residual stress studies complements and extends x-ray diffraction methods. The greater penetration depth of neutrons enables new problems to be addressed, in particular, the determination of macrostress gradients in bulk components and microstress states in composites and multiphase alloys.
