Whether manufacturing processes, process and quality control, or research and development, the applications of X-ray techniques in the field in materials science and engineering are manifold. When combined with visual surface inspection, X-ray-based inspection provides a reliable imaging technique to identify structural changes in the metal interior on an atomic basis and detect hidden defect locations. X-ray diffraction and X-ray spectroscopy provide information about the atomic structure and the chemical binding of materials, X-ray tomography is an imaging technique that is visualizing the morphology of materials and hidden defects nondestructively.
Based on the international participation of the community in the online training course on laboratory X-ray techniques for material development and process control, knowledge connects. We want to thank Ehrenfried Zschech and all lecturers for offering the training course in English for our worldwide scientific community.
