Composition Analysis on 3D Printed Titanium
XRD analysis provides identification of crystalline phases present. For 3D printed materials that come from a matrix of multiple elements, it can be unclear whether the cooling creates one, consistent phase of material or if it separates out into multiple phases.
Crystallite size determination using XRD
XRD analysis shows the crystallite size can be evaluated at half maximum of a diffraction peak as the crystallite size decreases.

Essentials of Particulate Testing: USP <788> and AAMI TIR42 While there are many standards available for particulate testing, USP <788> and AAMI TIR42 are the
Fingerprinting for Phase Identification
Minerology was one of the earliest fields to benefit from X-ray Diffraction (XRD). Prior to XRD, minerals could only be identified by their external symmetry, shape, and color. XRD transformed mineral identification into an exact science, being perfect for characterizing crystalline materials by their internal structure, not just external appearance.
High Resolution X-ray Diffraction (HR-XRD) Measurement of Compound Semiconductors
HR-XRD Measurement of Compound Semiconductors can be used to determine the composition of strained layers and thickness.
