The significance of residual stresses with respect to the mechanical and technological properties of components has been acknowledged for almost 1{1/2} centuries now. Since by definition the residual stresses are balanced throughout the whole body, a determination of the residual stress distribution is necessary--not just the value at a single location. To find local extrema, the method used for residual stress analysis must be chosen appropriate to the residual stress topology. The combination of neutrons with conventional X-rays and monochromatic and polychromatic synchrotron radiation allows for a comprehensive investigation of the phase composition, the texture, and the residual stresses.
