Randomized trial establishes lab-scale 3DXRD's accuracy for grain analysis in materials, suggesting wider accessibility.

To demonstrate laboratory-scale 3DXRD (Lab-3DXRD) for studying micromechanical behavior of polycrystalline materials.
Laboratory-scale implementation of 3DXRD using a liquid-metal-jet source.
Comparison with synchrotron-3DXRD and laboratory diffraction contrast tomography (LabDCT).
Assessment of grain detection and sensitivity improvements through pre-characterization.
Lab-3DXRD accurately detected over 96% of grains, especially coarse grains (> ~60 μm).
Finer grains are expected to be accessible with high-efficiency detectors.
Lab-3DXRD provides an alternative to synchrotron techniques for academic and industrial applications.

Oh et al. (2025) studied this question.
