Abstract

Two sources of error are discussed. The first, due to previous plastic flow in one direction, causes an x-ray line shift whether or not a real macrostress is present, and is due to a particular distribution of microstress. The second source is stacking faults. The first error is unavoidable, but the second can be eliminated by the proper x-ray technique.
