Abstract

Elastic constants as a function of crystallographic direction have been measured in polycrystalline alloy samples of 17-4PH stainless steel, Ni-Cr-Fe, and Ti-6%AI-4%V using a neutron diffraction technique. The results compare best with the constant stress model of Reuss. It is demonstrated that measurements of stress can be made sampling the bulk of the material using neutrons with an accuracy comparable to more conventional x-ray methods.
