X-ray techniques for materials development and process control

Understanding materials from the macroscopic down to the atomic scale is essential for developing high-performance products and enabling robust and efficient production processes. Modern X-ray techniques provide a powerful, reliable, and non-destructive way to analyze materials. This training course provides a compact, application-oriented introduction to X-ray techniques at the laboratory scale and beyond, covering material structure, composition, and microstructural features can be efficiently characterized across all length scales. Emphasis is placed on X-ray microscopy and tomography, diffraction and spectroscopy, and how these methods provide advanced insights that support materials development and process control. New approaches to data analysis will also be covered, including AI algorithms. Participants will gain a solid, application-oriented foundation in X-ray physics and learn how to optimize experimental setups, particularly in the selection and use of X-ray tools.
