The spiral slit-system and DSTM (diffraction spot trace method) are under development in order to evaluate internal stresses of materials with coarse grains. The bending stress in the specimen with coarse grains was measured in order to confirm performance of this advanced spiral slit-system. It was proved that the combination of the advanced spiral slit-system and the DSTM is useful for the internal stress measurement of materials with coarse grains. The welded specimen of a Mg-alloy plate was prepared by melt-run with TIG welding. The residual stress map in the cross-section of the specimen was made using the DSTM. On the other hand, the residual stresses of the welded specimen were simulated by a finite element method. The measured residual stresses were similar to the simulated results, and the residual stresses due to extrusion were measured also using the DSTM. Therefore, the DSTM is suitable for the stress measurement of weld parts.
