The Materials Engineering station on ID15A focuses on engineering materials methods and instrumentation. The available technique is angular-dispersive diffraction. The W76 wiggler source provides X-ray beams up to 280 keV. In this station non-destructive diffraction techniques may be used to investigate materials properties on multiple length and time scales.

Key points

• Energy range: 20 < E < 280 keV (monochromatic) or up to ca. 500 keV (white beam)
• Beam sizes from 30 µm to 8 mm

Techniques

• Angular dispersive diffraction
