A study of the residual stress distribution and texture evolution in stationary shoulder friction stir welded (SSFSW) AA7050 plate through non-destructive energy-resolved neutron imaging (NI), monochromatic neutron diffraction (ND) and destructive contour method (CM) is described in this paper. The presence of Bragg edges in the neutron transmission spectra are shown to be effective in determining the longitudinal residual stress and compare well with results obtained by ND and CM. The texture in the weld zone and base metal has been mapped by contrast in the narrow-energy transmission image combined with an analysis of the Bragg edges in the transmission spectra at each pixel showing agreement with the results obtained by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) mapping. The ND results were complicated by plastic anisotropy effects in the rolled plate which meant that different reference stress-free …
