The Structural Materials Beamline at CHESS
摘要
The Structural Materials Beamline (SMB) is one of two beamlines at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) sponsored by the Air Force Research Laboratory to develop and apply advanced X-ray techniques for mission-oriented materials challenges facing DoD and DoD-serving manufacturers. SMB is especially optimized for in situ and ex situ studies that link material response to processing or service conditions, often combined with development and validation of predictive models. Specialized instrumentation and methods have been developed to characterize the real-time mechanical response of alloys and to map residual stress fields in metallic components through diffraction-based techniques.
