A comparison of neutron diffraction and hole-drilling residual strain measurements in thermally sprayed coatings

► Residual stress measured via the hole-drilling and neutron diffraction techniques. ► Difference of measured stress values decreased with increased HIPing temperature. ► Difference in the measured values attributed to the nature of the stress results. ► Complementary information about the overall stress field. ► Residual stress profile in complex multi-layered thermally sprayed coatings.
