“…As will be seen through examples below, neutron sources have been regularly used to study residual strains in thermally sprayed and cold sprayed coatings. For coated samples -SANS QUOKKA (monochromatic) § -USANS KOOKABURRA (monochromatic) § Ni, Ni-29%Cr, WC-17%Co [47]; Inconel 625 [48]; Ni-914-3 [50]; AA-6061-T6 [51]; Ti [52]; Inconel®718 [53]; Cu, Al [62]; YSZ [72] 0.2 × 0.2 × 15 mm 3 (and 0.3 mm) [47]; 0.2 × 0.2 × 20 mm 3 [48,50]; 0.5 × 0.5 × 18 mm 3 [51]; 0.5 × 0.5 × 20 mm 3 [52]; 1 × 1 × 1 mm 3 Ni + 5%Al [58]; IN625 alloy [59]; Al, Si, Mo 2 C-Mo [60]; Mo [61]; Cu, Al [62]; Al [63]; Al-Al 2 O 3 [64]; 0.5 × 0.5 × 7 mm 3 [39]; 1 × 1 × 7 mm 3 [58]; 2 × 2 × 7 mm 3 [59]; 0.5 × 0.5 × 18 mm 3 [62]; 0.5 × 0.5 × 7 mm 3 of various thicknesses, investigators have used various gauge volumes with slit widths (0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm) in through thickness dimension. Interestingly, different strategies were considered to obtain strain-free lattice parameter ( d 0 hkl ) for the coating and substrate part.…”
