Description
Summary:X-ray diffraction technique has been recognized as a useful tool for the assessment of material degradation extent after a long-time service. Framework 5 project ''XPECTION'' was dealing with this task with respect to high-temperature creep degradation of boiler tube steels. This paper summarizes partial results of an experimental programme concentrated on mechanical properties degradation of base metals of steel and Al-alloy test specimens of welded components as a result of fatigue loading.
