A small and lightweight portable X-ray residual stress analyzer- μ- X360s
X-ray is one of the few non-destructive testing methods in surface residual stress measurement technology, which determines stress based on changes in the interplanar spacing of materials or products. It is still one of the more widely studied, in-depth, and mature residual stress analysis and detection methods, and is widely used in various fields of scientific research and industrial production. In 2012, Pulstec in Japan developed a new generation X-ray residual stress analyzer based on full two-dimensional detector technology—— μ- X360n has taken the measurement speed and accuracy of residual stress using X-ray technology to a new level, and the equipment received widespread praise from the industry shortly after its launch. Due to its advanced technology, high repeatability of test data, and portability, the device is highly favored by the industry as soon as it is launched! Recently, Pulstec in Japan has successfully overcome technical difficulties and released a new product model: μ- X360s, upgrade the product design and functionality of the full two-dimensional detector technology once again!
Product features:
Compared to traditional X-ray residual stress testers, the new generation μ- X360s has the following advantages:
Faster: The two-dimensional detector captures the complete Debye ring in one go, and residual stress measurement can be completed with a single incident angle.
More precise: X-ray single exposure can obtain 500 diffraction points for residual stress data fitting, resulting in more accurate results.
Easier: No need for a goniometer, a single angle can be incident at once, making measurement of complex shapes and narrow spaces no longer difficult.
More convenient: No liquid cooling device required, supports portable battery power supply.
More powerful: supports automatic measurement of stress distribution in extended areas, with functions such as grain size uniformity, material texture, and analysis of residual austenite content.
Overview of testing principles:
Full two-dimensional detector technology
--After a single angle incident, a complete Debye ring is obtained using a two-dimensional detector. Calculate the change in interplanar spacing under stress and the corresponding stress by comparing the difference between the Debye ring without stress and the deformed Debye ring under stress
--After applying stress, analyze the changes in the Debye ring before and after a single incident, and obtain residual stress data through residual stress analysis software.
Basic parameters:
Collimator size standard configuration: diameter 1mm (other sizes optional)
X-ray tube parameters 30KV 1.5mA
Standard target material for X-ray tubes: chromium target (optional with other options)
