The possibilities and limitations of residual stress analysis using diffraction methods are discussed. Examples for the analysis of stress gradients in the near surface zone are given. The use of neutron diffraction and of high energy synchrotron radiation for the analysis of bulk stresses is demonstrated. Future trends of experimental residual stress analysis are outlined.
