“…Several different types of residual stress measurement techniques can be used, such as the hole-drilling method, X-ray diffraction (XRD), neutron diffraction, ultrasonic methods, the Barkhausen noise method, and magnetic methods. XRD and the neutron diffraction method are non-destructive methods using radiation based on the volume difference between the normal and distorted alignment of lattices of the material (Price et al, 2008). XRD, which is one of the most accurate methods, was used in the present study to measure the residual stresses on the surface of the welded specimen.…”
