The different techniques available for the accurate measurement of lattice fringe spacings are discussed and their relative merits under different cricumstances assessed. The relationship between the lattice fringe spacing and the lattice parameter is further examined for both uniform and chemically inhomogeneous material. The techniques described were also applied to an investigation of carbon segregation in residual austenite after the upper bainitic transformation in two steels.
