Phase Analysis / XRD (X-Ray Diffraction)

Qualitative and Quantitative Phase Analysis

X-ray determination of phase composition and structural parameters at room temperature (partly within the scope of accreditation according to EN ISO 17025)

  • Qualitative and quantitative phase analysis (incl. Rietveld method)

  • Determination of lattice parameters (lattice constants, defect density, crystallite size)

  • Determination of retained austenite content according to ASTM E 975 (within accreditation) or via Rietveld method (laboratory and on-site)

  • Analysis of waviness, reflectometry (e.g., on microelectronic components)

  • Examination of metals, ceramics, and coatings

High-Temperature Properties and Phase Transformations

Determination of phases, phase transformations, structural parameters, and residual stresses at elevated temperatures and under various atmospheres

  • Determination of crystallographic structural parameters as a function of temperature
  • Identification of phase transformations such as magnetic transitions, lattice transformations, melting points, and glass transition temperatures
  • Monitoring of phase changes caused by annealing processes
  • Detection of phase reactions (e.g., oxidation, decomposition)
