Residual stress measurement on a welded box beam section The topic of this work is the measurement of the residual stress state of a welded box girder section. The investigation was performed in three main steps consisting of firstly the determination of the global residual stress state, secondly the measurement of local residual stress condition at the positions of interest, and thirdly the superposition of global and local stresses to the complete residual stress state at the respective position. The stress determination was performed using the cut‐compliance method (CC method) and X‐ray measurements. Both measurements methods complement each other very well. The CC method provides information at a great depth below the surface, while the X‐ray method offers high resolution at low depth. The results of both methods have been compared and were in good agreement, validating themselves. The investigations at the corners of the welded box girder section revealed tensile residual stresses. At and just below the surface influences of the thermal cutting process of the steel sheet have been found, resulting in a lowering of the tensile stresses. However, in the middle of the beam section high tensile stresses of up to 430 MPa have been found, nearly reaching the proof stress of the material. The consequences of such high tensile residual stresses on design and use of the beam will be discussed.     

Finite element based model for predicting induced residual stresses and cutting forces in AISI 1020 steel alloy

The application of finite element models is a promising method for ensuring part quality during machining to accurately predict induced residual stresses and cutting forces. The present study applied Analysis System software to formulate a 3D model to predict induced residual stress and forces for AISI 1020 alloy. Taguchi method was applied in the design of the experiment with three levels and three factors selected: Cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut. For validation, stresses are measured using an x-ray diffractometer from the surface to a depth of 0.6 mm in steps of 0.2 mm. The cutting forces are determined using a force dynamometer. Simulation results showed that cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut contributed 94.76 %, 0.048 %, and 0.11 % respectively. The predictive model equations were statistically significant with a p-value of <0.005. The average induced residual stress on the superficial layer from the experiment and simulation were −367.7 MPa and −365.6 MPa respectively. The average residual stresses obtained at depths of 0.2 mm, 0.4 mm, and 0.6 mm were −260 MPa, −233 MPa, and −211 MPa, respectively. The proposed model offers a potential solution to reducing the costs of experimental methods.     

激光相变硬化残余应力研究

本文主要采用X射线法对激光相变硬化处理后试样表面至内部的残余应力进行逐层测定。并辅以小孔应力释放法予以比较。结果表明:在通常激光相变硬化处理参数下,碳钢的残余应力按正弦波规津分布。表面为压应力,内部为拉应力。其幅值随激光参数减小而减小。二次激光相变硬化处理的残余应力为拉应力。本文对残余应力在激光相变硬化处理热循环过程中的形成进行了解释。在最初升温阶段,表面发生热塑性变形而形成少量压应变。在随后的冷却过程中产生拉应变。当发生奥氏体向马氏体组织转变时,又产生压应变。因此,最终残余应力状态是表面达到的温度,塑性屈服量,组织转变量等因素综合影响的结果。而与是终形成的组织,残余奥氏体量等没有对应关系。     

An investigation of residual stresses in brazed cubic boron nitride abrasive grains by finite element modelling and raman spectroscopy

Joining cubic boron nitride (CBN) abrasive grains and tool body made of steel using brazing always creates residual stress due to thermal mismatch of the components when cooling down from the brazing temperature. A large tensile stress perhaps causes grain fracture during the grinding process with single-layer brazed CBN abrasive tools. To evaluate the residual stresses occurring in brazed CBN grains, values and distribution of residual stresses are calculated using the finite element method. Effects of bonding materials, embedding depth, gap thickness and grain size on brazing-induced residual stresses are discussed. Results show that the Cu–Sn–Ti bonding alloy always results in a larger tensile stress in the CBN grains, when compared to Ag–Cu–Ti alloy during the cooling phase of the brazing process. The maximum tensile stress is obtained at the grain–bond junction region irrespective of the choice of bonding material and embedding depth. When the grain side length is 100 μm, gap thickness is 10 μm and grain embedding depth is 30%, the maximum magnitude of the tensile stresses is obtained. The maximum stress is 401 MPa with Ag–Cu–Ti alloy and 421 MPa with Cu–Sn–Ti alloy. The brazing-induced residual stresses have been finally measured experimentally by means of the Raman spectroscopy. The current simulated results are accordingly verified valid.     

Effect of Machining Parameters on Surface Integrity in High Speed Milling of Super Alloy GH4169/Inconel 718

Control of surface integrity is a vital consideration in the machining of components subjected to fatigue loading, for example, critical components of aerospace engines. In this research, three important aspects of surface integrity of a machined part—surface roughness, micro-hardness, and residual stresses—were analyzed for their variations with the cutting parameters. Finish milling of super alloy GH4169/Inconel 718 was carried out using coated cemented carbide and whisker-reinforced coated ceramic inserts. All of the three machining parameters—cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut—were found to have a substantial effect on the surface integrity of the finished part. Although different cutting parameters gave different effects for the two types of cutting inserts, overall better surface integrity was obtained at minimum cutting feed and medium cutting speed and depth of cut value. Moreover, carbide inserts produced better surface integrity of the finished part, whereas ceramic inserts generated very high surface tensile stresses and poor surface finish due to back striking of the adhered metal chips.     

Axial fatigue of a gas-nitrided quenched and tempered AISI 4140 steel: effect of nitriding depth

Fatigue testing under fully reversed axial loading (R=?1) and zero‐to‐tension axial loading (R= 0) was carried out on AISI 4140 gas‐nitrided smooth specimens. Three different treatment durations were investigated in order to assess the effect of nitriding depth on fatigue strength in high cycle fatigue. Complete specimens characterization, i.e., hardness and residual stresses profiles (including measurement of stabilized residual stresses) as well as metallographic and fractographic observations, was achieved to analyse fatigue behaviour. Fatigue of the nitrided steel is a competition between a surface crack growing in a compressive residual stress field and an internal crack or ‘fish‐eye’ crack growing in vacuum. Fatigue life increases with nitriding depth until surface cracking is slow enough for failure to occur from an internal crack. Unlike bending, in axial fatigue ‘fish‐eye’ cracks can initiate anywhere in the core volume under uniform stress. In these conditions, axial fatigue performance is lower than that obtained under bending and nitriding depth may have no more influence. In order to interpret the results, special attention was given to the effects of compressive residual stresses on the surface short crack growth (closure effect) as well as the effects of internal defect size on internal fatigue lives. A superimposed tensile mean stress reduces the internal fatigue strength of nitrided steel more than the surface fatigue strength of the base metal. Both cracking mechanisms are not equally sensitive to mean stress.

Residual stresses in laser direct metal deposited Waspaloy

This paper reports a study into the effect of laser pulse length and duty cycle on the residual stress distributions in multi-track laser direct metal deposits of Waspaloy onto an Inconel 718 substrate. The residual stresses have been evaluated using neutron diffraction and the contour method, while electron microscopy and micro hardness indentation have been used to map the concomitant microstructural variation. In all cases, near the tops of the deposited walls, the longitudinal stresses are tensile towards the mid-length of the wall, while the stresses perpendicular to the substrate are negligible. By contrast near the base of the walls, the stresses along the direction of deposition are small, while the stresses perpendicular to the substrate are compressive at the centre and tensile towards the ends. Consistent with previous observations, the stresses parallel to free surfaces are tensile, balanced by compressive stresses in the interior (an inverse quench stress profile). These profiles have been found to be weakly dependent on the laser pulse parameters, most notably an increase in tensile stress gradient with increasing duty cycle, but the maximum residual stresses are largely unaffected. Furthermore, microstructural analysis has shown that the effect of laser pulse parameters on grain morphology in multi-track thick walls is less marked than previously reported for single-track wall structures.     

Recovery of fatigue life using laser peening on 2024‐T351 aluminium sheet containing scratch damage: The role of residual stress

The aim of the current work was to study the effect of laser shock peening (LSP) when applied to 2‐mm thick 2024‐T351 aluminium samples containing scratch‐like defects in the form of V‐shaped scribes 50 to 150 μm deep. The scribes decreased fatigue life to 5% of that of the pristine material. The effect of laser peening on fatigue life was dependent on the specifics of the peen treatment, ranging from further reductions in life to restoration of the fatigue life to 61% of pristine material. Fatigue life was markedly sensitive to near‐surface tensile residual stress, even if a compressive residual stress field was present at greater depth. Fatigue life after peening was also dependent on sample distortion generated during the peening process. Sample distortion modified local stresses generated by externally applied loads, producing additional life changes. Models based on residual stress intensity and crack closure concepts were successfully applied to predict fatigue life recovery.     

Microstructure and nanoindentation measurement of residual stress in Fe-based coating by laser cladding

Laser cladding is a surface modification technique for improving surface properties. However, high residual tensile stress is always originated, which can create cracks in cladding coatings. The through-thickness residual stresses in Fe-based coating prepared by laser cladding were measured using a non-destructive nanoindentation technique. The cladding coating with a thickness of 1 mm exhibited a uniform appearance, and no crack or defect was observed. An excellent metallurgic bond was obtained between the coating and the substrate. The XRD pattern implied that the coating was mainly composed of α(Fe, Cr) solid solution, Cr₇C₃ hard phase and Fe₂B stable phase. The residual tensile stress in the cladding coating was found to increase as the increasing of the distance from coating surface. Although the tensile residual stress reaches the highest magnitude of 700 MPa up to the depth of 600 μm, no dehiscence happened. The prepared cladding coating has good plasticity and toughness, as well as low crack sensitivity.     

Strain Profiling of a Ferritic‐Martensitic Stainless Steel Sheet — Comparing Synchrotron with Conventional X‐Ray Diffraction

To improve the fatigue resistance of stainless steel sheet, it is a common practice to induce compressive residual stress in the surface through shot‐peening or tumbling. Stress depth profiles obtained by tumbling of thin stainless steel tensile rods were analysed using laboratory and synchrotron X‐Ray Diffraction (XRD). Both the non‐destructive synchrotron and the laboratory XRD etch‐depth profile gave similar results: a residual stress profile decaying over a depth not exceeding 50 µm into the material.     

Thermal and grinding induced residual stresses in a silicon carbide particle-reinforced aluminium metal matrix composite

The residual stresses in a silicon carbide particle-reinforced aluminium (SiC_p/Al) metal matrix composite (MMC) were measured using the X-ray diffraction method. The thermal residual stresses induced by annealing were found to be hydrostatic tension for the Al matrix and hydrostatic compression for the SiC reinforcement. After grinding treatment, the force equilibrium between these hydrostatic stresses was disturbed and compressive stresses were measured in both constituents. The effect of grinding extended into the bulk, and depth profiles of the residual stresses in both constituents were obtained by layer removal. The behaviour exhibited in these depth profiles is explained and their usefulness is indicated.     

Thermal Stresses in the Large Grain YBaCuO Superconductors During Zero Field Cooling

We have measured the thermal stresses of the large grain bulk YBaCuO superconductors which had been cooled in a zero magnetic field. During the cooling process from room temperature to 30 K, the axial thermal stress, radial stress, and hoop stress have been obtained by using the strain gauges which had been directly mounted onto the sample surface. It has been found that the maximum tension stress is over 30 MPa along the c axis and the maximum compression stress along the ab axis is over 700 MPa, which should not be neglected when the mechanical properties of these superconductors are considered. The multiphysics analysis software COMSOL has been used to simulate the thermal stresses during the cooling process; it has been confirmed that the large thermal stresses of the superconductors are mainly governed by the thermal expansion coefficients.

Effect of residual stresses on mechanical properties and interface adhesion strength of SiN thin films

Residual stresses play a significant role in the mechanical reliability of thin films. Thus in this study, the mechanical properties and interface adhesion strengths of SiN thin films containing different residual stresses have been investigated by using nanoindentation and nanoscratch tests. With varied residual stresses from compressive to tensile, the penetration depth of nanoindentation tests shifted to a higher value. The hardness and elastic modulus decreased from 11.0 and 95 GPa, respectively, for the film containing a compressive stress of 235 MPa to 9.6 and 84 GPa for the film with a tensile stress of 86 MPa. With decreasing compressive stress and increasing tensile stress, the interface adhesion energy decreased from 1.8 to 1.5 J/m². Compressive stresses were expected to blunt crack tips and inhibit crack propagation, while tensile stresses enlarged crack opening and facilitated crack propagation, thus changing the mechanical properties of the SiN thin films.     

初始应力对三维光学轮廓法测试焊接接头残余应力的影响

目的研究不同初始应力状态下,三维光学轮廓法测试焊接接头残余应力的变化规律。方法采用MIG焊分别对供货态与去应力退火态试板进行多层多道焊,焊后试板经慢走丝切割,经三维光学测量技术扫描切割面轮廓,将所得轮廓数据经所建立的数据处理平台处理,将其结果作为有限元计算的边界条件,经应力反算得到残余应力分布。最后再进行有限元模拟,计算焊接接头残余应力。结果含初始应力、去应力退火和数值模拟的焊缝中心均为拉应力区,最大拉应力分别为480, 450, 523 MPa,且都位于焊缝根部区域。三者试板两侧为压应力区域,最大压应力分别为380, 280, 157 MPa,三者数值相差较大。结论将含有初始残余应力试板、退火处理试板与数值模拟结果的残余应力分布进行对比,可以发现三者在焊缝中心处的残余应力分布较为一致,但沿着焊缝向两侧的区域内,应力差别逐渐变大。主要原因为焊接热循环温度高于金属再结晶温度时可以消除部分残余应力,而温度循环较低时对应力消除不明显,导致实验结果相差较大。     

Fatigue life improvement for cruciform welded joint by mechanical surface treatment using hammer peening and ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification*

For the improvement of the fatigue strength for welded structures, mechanical posttreatments have been applied in various industrial fields and in most cases have been found to give substantial increases in their fatigue lives. These methods, generally, consist of the modification of weld toe geometry and the introduction of compressive residual stresses. In mechanical surface treatments, for example, PHP (pneumatic hammer peening) and UNSM (ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification), the weld profile is modified due to removed or reduced minute crack‐like flaws, and compressive residual stresses are also induced. In this study, a PHP procedure and a UNSM device were introduced, and a quantitative measure of fatigue strength improvement was performed. The fatigue strength at 2 × 10⁶ cycles of hammer‐peened and UNSM treated on a non‐load‐carrying cruciform welded joint shows 220 and 260 MPa, respectively, which are more than two times higher than that of as‐welded specimen. Especially, the surface layer in the vicinity weld toe treated by the UNSM provides nanocrystal structure created by an ultrasonic cold forging and introduces very high welding residual stress in compression.     

循环压缩载荷下缺口残余拉应力场的X射线分析

用细束 x 射线研究了循环压缩载荷下缺口残余拉应力的分布及变化。试验表明,循环压缩加载后形成的残余拉应力大于一次压缩加载后的数值,压缩应力幅对残余拉应力分布的影响大于压缩平均应力的影响,其原因除了加载-降载过程中形成的残余应力直接与应力幅有关外,尚与应力幅加剧材料循环软化程度有关。形成疲劳裂纹后,在完全卸载的裂纹面上,残余拉应力基本松弛,但垂直于裂纹面稍远处的残余拉应力仍保持有相当大的数值,这部分残余应力是否对裂纹扩展起作用,在计算残余应力的应力强度因子时如何予以考虑值得注意。
