The various machine parts made of fine ceramics are usually finished by grinding. The X-ray elastic constants in ground ceramics are measured by the X-ray diffraction method, as a result a measurement error can occur. The cause of the error is the stress gradient in the material produced by the grinding. In the case of material in which a stress gradient is present, X-ray stress measurement data show non-linear 2θφψ- sin2ψ diagrams. Until now, the X-ray stress measurement by the sin2ψ method makes use of effectively linear 2θφψ - sin2ψ diagrams. In the case of 2θφψ - sin2ψ diagrams showing non-linear behavior, however, good analysis method are generally not available.
