[0001] This invention belongs to the field of X-ray diffraction detection technology, specifically relating to a short-wavelength characteristic X-ray diffraction near-surface residual stress nondestructive testing device and a method for nondestructive testing of near-surface residual stress. Background Technology
[0002] Short-wavelength characteristic X-ray diffraction technology can be used to non-destructively detect residual stress, texture and phases inside materials / workpieces. The specific scheme can be found in the apparatus and method disclosed in existing literature ZL2004100688802 / US7583788B2 / EP2541238.
[0003] The aforementioned apparatus and method constitute a crucial foundational technology for short-wavelength characteristic X-ray diffraction testing. Many subsequent related testing methods (such as CN2014108421013, a non-destructive testing method for pinpoint internal stress in plate-shaped materials using short-wavelength X-ray diffraction, and CN2018115468262, a method for locating test samples using short-wavelength X-ray diffraction) are based on further innovations of this technology. However, to date, no related apparatus or method has been found for testing near-surface residual stress in materials / workpieces. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a short-wavelength characteristic X-ray diffraction non-destructive testing device and method for near-surface residual stress. The near-surface layer typically refers to a depth of 3 mm extending from the material surface into the material's interior.
[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution.
[0006] A short-wavelength characteristic X-ray diffraction non-destructive testing device for near-surface residual stress includes a radiation source and a detector, located on opposite sides of the sample. The short-wavelength characteristic X-rays emitted by the radiation source are incident in the same direction as the sample thickness. The sample testing position is adjusted by precisely moving the sample stage along the sample thickness direction. The incident X-rays and diffracted X-rays are collimated by an incident collimator and a receiving collimator, respectively. All X-rays are parallel beams with rectangular cross-sections, and the positioning accuracy along the axis of motion of the sample thickness is high. The residual stress is the near-surface residual stress of the sample.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the light-transmitting cross-sections of both the incident collimator and the receiving collimator are rectangular, with a width of 0.05mm-0.2mm and a height of 4mm-20mm in the diffraction plane.
[0008] To improve detection accuracy, the ratio of the slit width to the slit length of the incident collimator and the receiving collimator should not exceed 0.0067.
[0009] To further improve detection accuracy, the sample position adjustment accuracy along the sample thickness direction is better than ±3μm.

The stress-free powder standard has the same material and specifications as the sample being tested. Step 2: Measure the diffraction peaks of the stress-free powder standard sample from different parts of the surface to the interior, and record the diffraction peak P at part i. i ; Step 3: Determine the average peak value P using the internal diffraction peaks of the stress-free powder standard. avg Based on the standard, according to formula m i =P i / P avg Calculate the spurious shift correction factor m of the diffraction peak from the surface to the interior i region of the stress-free powder standard. i ; The internal diffraction peaks refer to the diffraction peaks that occur when the stress-free powder standard completely fills the diffraction volume. Step 4: Remove the stress-free powder standard from the sample stage, then install the test sample on the sample stage, and test the diffraction peak P at different depths i of the test sample. i试样 ; Step 5: Remove the test sample from the sample stage, then install a stress-free reference sample on the sample stage, and test the sample diffraction peak P at different depths i of the stress-free reference sample. i无应力参考样品 ; Step 6, based on the diffraction peak spurious shift correction factor m i Correction yielded the sample diffraction peak P' i试样 and the diffraction peak P' of the stress-free reference sample i无应力参考样品 ; Step 7: Calculate the near-surface residual strain based on the corrected diffraction peaks, and calculate the near-surface residual stress according to Hooke's Law.
[0011] Furthermore, when testing the diffraction peaks at various locations along the depth distribution of the stress-free standard sample, the test should be conducted at a depth of at least three times the length of the major axis of the rhomboid cross-section of the diffraction volume.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the stress-free powder standard and the test sample have the same diffraction crystal plane, and the test sites of the two are at the same depth from the surface.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the particle size of the stress-free powder standard is 50±5μm, and the particles of the stress-free powder standard are solidified by bonding.
[0014] Beneficial effects: The present invention enables non-destructive testing and analysis of near-surface residual stress in materials / workpieces, solving the problem that current near-surface residual stress testing methods often employ destructive testing such as electrolytic polishing and delamination, resulting in stress release and making the tested workpiece / material unusable.
