Both inspecting welded joints between two metal parts of a machine and studying the structure of crystals can be done using X-rays.

X-ray radiography is a well-established Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) technique used to inspect internal structures for defects, such as detecting cracks, voids, or porosity in welded joints or castings. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) is a fundamental technique in materials science used to study the atomic and molecular structure of crystalline solids by analyzing the diffraction pattern produced when X-rays interact with the crystal lattice.

X-rays have numerous other applications, including medical imaging (radiography, CT scans), security screening, and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy for elemental analysis.
