Non-destructive 3D stress gradient mapping
Measure residual strain and stress gradients in industrial components using synchrotron and neutron diffraction, with micrometer-level resolution and centimeter-level penetration.
Why residual strain & stress mapping matters
Non-destructive neutron and synchrotron diffraction unlock the true stress state within complex geometries. Scatterin couples these measurements with custom fixtures and analytics so you can certify safety-critical assets without sectioning.
We orchestrate tri-axial scans across welds, additive builds, forgings, and castings—connecting raw intensity to engineering-ready stress tensors with µm-level spatial control.
Program highlights
- Only techniques enabling non-destructive 3D mapping of residual stress gradients.
- Penetration up to 7 cm in steel.
- Measurements in tri-axial residual stress condition.
- µm-level resolution can be reached in mapping.
Typical deliverables
- Beamline execution scripts with adaptive sampling strategies.
- Stress tensor reconstructions and visual heatmaps ready for CAE pipelines.
- Scatterin SaaS workspace with audit trails and executive summaries.
