An X-ray diffractometer, often referred to as XRD (X-ray diffraction) instrument, is a scientific device used to analyze the crystalline structure of materials by measuring the diffraction of X-rays.

The vast majority of solid materials are crystals or quasicrystals, which can produce characteristic diffraction of X-rays. By recording these diffractions in a proper way, different patterns of X-ray diffraction patterns can be obtained. It can be said that the X-ray diffraction pattern of each substance carries a wealth of information about the structure of the substance. By analyzing these patterns, the structure of the sample can be studied and determined. “Structure” here includes the elemental composition, composition, structure, organization, structure, state, and other meanings of material materials.

With the continuous advancement of technology, XRD analysis has now been widely used in product inspection, raw material quality standards, and production processes.

How Does X-Ray Diffraction Work?

X-ray diffractometers are most widely used to research the phase and crystal structure of matter. When analyzing materials with XRD, each chemical molecule or phase has a unique diffraction pattern.

XRD testing focuses an X-ray beam onto the surface of a metal sample to determine the composition and structure of certain elements in the sample, such as average grain size, crystal defects, orientation, and strain.

The X-ray beam is scattered by the sample during the diffraction process. This produces an interference pattern that is unique to each material and provides information about the sample’s structure. Determining the diffraction pattern requires mathematical calculations and physical measurements.

The resulting interference pattern is then analyzed to determine the crystal structure of the sample and provide information about the composition and properties of the material. Using this method, the presence of different elements and phases in a material can be determined and their relative quantities measured.
