TEX-2 the texture diffractometer at the GKSS-research centre

TEX-2 is a four-circle diffractometer which is mainly used to analyse textures of different types of materials. A variability in scanning routines and in the beam collimation allows to optimize the measurement for highly symmetric metals and alloys as well as for low-symmetric superconductors and rock samples. Data evaluation will be carried out calculating the orientation distribution function bg the iterative-series expansion method. the WIMV method or the component fit method. additional equipment is available for defined sample environments (high temperature, tensile and compression load).
