The MTL x-ray diffractometer facility serves two major functions : accurate structure identification and determination of texture(crystallographic orientation) distribution in rolled alloys. The former has been used in many projects involving phase determination of standard steels, bronzes, and aluminum alloys.... 2, record 1, English, - texture

Structure atomique (...) Dans le cas d'un métal pur, les grains ont des formes et des tailles voisines, mais des orientations variées (...) Lorsque les grains ont des orientations privilégiées, on dit que le métal possède une texture et ses propriétés ne sont alors plus isotropes. 3, record 1, French, - texture

Un agrégat polycristallin (métal, roche, polymère, etc.) sera (...) globalement isotrope si les cristaux qui le constituent sont très nombreux et orientés au hasard; dans le cas contraire, le matériau est dit "texturé"; il est alors globalement anisotrope. 2, record 1, French, - texture

A portable X-ray diffractometer that is inherently error compensating and can determine stresses in the surface of a specimen in situe, is being developed in CANMET. This unit will measure stresses on a spot of very narrow width in a single exposure of about 50s. The CANMET portable X-ray stress diffractometer will accurately measure stresses across a steep stress gradient and display an immediate readout. 1, record 2, English, - portable%20X%2Dray%20diffractometer

Un diffractomètre X portatif à compensation automatique des erreurs qui peut mesurer sur place les contraintes à la surface d'un échantillon est en voie de mise au point au CANMET. Cet appareil permettra de mesurer les contraintes sur une surface très étroite, en un seul passage d'environ 50 secondes. Il permettra de mesurer avec précision les contraintes dans des zones de fort gradient et d'afficher immédiatement le résultat. 1, record 2, French, - diffractom%C3%A8tre%20X%20portatif
