About

H.-G. Brokmeier is a leading figure in the field of materials science, specializing in the non-destructive evaluation of crystallographic textures and residual stresses in engineering materials. His research focuses on the development and application of advanced neutron and hard X-ray diffraction techniques to probe the microstructural properties of metals and alloys. Brokmeier’s major contributions center on the design and optimization of sample manipulation systems at the STRESS-SPEC neutron diffractometer, notably pioneering the use of an industrial 6-axis robot for texture and strain analyses. This innovation dramatically expanded the capability to study complex, large-scale components and perform detailed texture gradient mapping, as demonstrated in his work on Cu-tubes. His most cited paper, "Texture analysis at neutron diffractometer STRESS-SPEC" (2011, 77 citations), is a foundational reference for researchers in the field. Brokmeier’s work has been instrumental in bridging the gap between fundamental materials science and practical engineering, providing critical insights into how crystallographic texture and residual stress influence the performance and reliability of industrial products.
