The thesis was an investigation into the mechanism of precipitation
from solid solution in an Aluminum-0.7% Magnesium-0.6%
Silicon alloy containing iron impurities. Laue x-ray diffraction patterns
were obtained from solution heat treated and aged single crystal
specimens in various crystallographic orientations. Precipitation
related streaking was detected on some of the...
A design for an x-ray diffraction teaching device has been
presented. From the design a diffraction device has been constructed.
Based on the principles of the original work by Max von Laue,
a diffraction camera has been constructed using a diagnostic x-ray
machine. The diffraction camera provides a fast, safe,...
