Frequently Asked Questions - XRD Analysis
Learn how XRD analysis helps identify crystalline materials, investigate material structure and support product development, quality assurance and research projects.
What is XRD analysis?
X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis is a technique used to identify crystalline materials and determine their structural composition. By analysing how X-rays interact with a material, XRD can reveal information about crystal structure, phase composition and material properties.
What materials can be analysed using XRD?
XRD is commonly used to analyse metals, ceramics, powders, minerals, pharmaceuticals, cementitious materials, coatings and advanced engineering materials. It is particularly useful for materials that contain crystalline structures.
How does XRD differ from FTIR analysis?
While FTIR identifies materials based on their chemical bonds and molecular structure, XRD focuses on crystalline structure and phase composition. The two techniques are often used together to provide a more complete understanding of a material’s composition and properties.
Can XRD identify unknown materials?
Yes. XRD is widely used to identify unknown crystalline materials by comparing diffraction patterns against extensive reference databases. This makes it a valuable tool for material verification, contamination investigations and failure analysis.
What industries use XRD testing?
XRD testing is used across a wide range of industries including construction, pharmaceuticals, advanced manufacturing, energy, mining, ceramics, electronics and materials research. It supports product development, quality assurance and research activities.
Why choose SEAM for XRD analysis?
SEAM combines advanced XRD capabilities with experienced materials researchers and complementary analytical techniques including SEM, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy and thermal analysis.
