Abstract: A neutron diffractometer based on the reverse time-of-flight method and intended for the study of residual stresses is reported. The special requirements for high resolution neutron diffractometry to investigate residual stresses are discussed. The components and characteristics of the diffractometer are introduced. Finally, first results of residual stress measurements are given.
