Neutrons are used to investigate stresses and crystallographic microstructures inside engineering materials, taking advantage of their large penetrating power and the ability to see the arrangement of atoms by diffraction methods. A pulsed neutron diffractometer has been developed in J-PARC and operated for more a decade. The present status of the diffractometer and some highlights will be introduced.
