Hello. I am intending to measure residual stresses of additively manufactured specimens in as-built conditions via X-ray diffraction (surface residual stresses are needed), which means no machining or post-processing of the material. However, AM products have an irregular surface roughness, and it is unclear to me if the surface roughness affects the measurements of X-ray diffraction. I would greatly appreciate if there is anyone who has experience in the matter could help me with this predicament.

Thank you for your time and hope you have a great day.
