Schematic of the axial offset distance between the initial weld interface and the synchrotron beam. The offset allowed for diffraction data to be gathered from the weld interface at various time points during the weld: (a) a small axial offset caused an intersection of the weld interface and the synchrotron beam at the beginning of the weld, and (b) a larger axial offset required more deformation of the weld specimens to move the contact interface into the stationary beam, and so intersection between the weld interface and synchrotron beam did not occur until the end of the weld. |
