Residual stress measurement is important to understand Stress Corrosion Cracking process. In this study, measurements of imaging and inner stress mapping around a crack-tip in steel material (alpha-Fe) have performed at beam-line BL14B1 and BL28B2 at SPring-8. The results showed that artificial cracking in the sample was clearly measured by imaging and that stress maps quite correspond to the result of imaging. Therefore, these methods are very effective tool for measurement of inner state of steel material.
