Accurate evaluation of residual stress is essential if is to be taken into account in structural integrity assessments. For thick components, many non-destructive residual stress measurement techniques cannot be used since they are unable to measure the stresses deep within the component. Measurement techniques which involve mechanical strain relief through material removal are the only alternative. Recently, it has been found that these techniques may fail to measure the stresses correctly when highly triaxial stresses are present because plastic redistribution can occur when the material removal is carried out. The Deep Hole Drilling technique is a very powerful method to measure the stresses within very thick engineering components. However, it can suffer from high levels of plasticity and lead to inaccurate results. It is shown in the present research that the effect of plasticity on the measured stresses can be eliminated. In the present work, the effect of gauge volume on the plasticity effect is investigated.

The aim of the present study was to utilize a complex residual stress generated within a welded circular disc to further investigate the standard deep-hole drilling (DHD) technique and the newly developed over-coring deep-hole drilling (oDHD) technique in accurately measuring residual stresses well over yield stress. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was used to optimize and extend the deep-hole drilling technique and improve its accuracy. The standard DHD procedure involves 4 steps. (1) A reference hole is gun-drilled through the component. (2) The internal diameter of the reference hole is measured at different angular positions through the depth of the component. (3) A cylindrical section with the reference hole as its longitudinal axis is trepanned free from the component. (4) Finally, the relaxed internal diameter is re-measured at the same angular positions and the same depths. The drilling, trepanning procedures and the parameters of the deep-hole drilling technique were all studied in detail to optimize the technique. Comparison is made between the FEA predicted residual stress in the weld, the measurements and the reconstructed residual stresses of the measurements. The close correlations confirmed the suitability of new modifications made in the deep-hole drilling technique to account for plasticity when measuring near yield residual stresses present in a component.

The modified deep hole drilling technique (iDHD) has been developed to allow near yield residual stresses to be measured and has been validated for axisymmetric residual stress fields. In the present investigation, the application of the iDHD technique was extended to non-axisymmetric stress fields. First, a finite element simulation of the iDHD technique was carried out to demonstrate its effectiveness at measuring near yield residual stress. Experimental measurements were then carried out on shrink fit specimens to investigate the performance of the technique in practice. These shrink fit specimens were assembled in such a way that either axisymmetric or non-axisymmetric stress fields could be generated. The results indicated that the iDHD technique is capable of measuring non-axisymmetric residual stresses in presence of plasticity.

Compressive Residual Stresses

“ELIXIR – Extending Plant Life Through Improved Fabrication and Advanced Repair Methodology” was a European Union FP5 sponsored project. During the duration of the Elixir project, much work was directed at providing the necessary data for the validation of numerical modelling techniques applied to residual stress generation and hydrogen diffusion arising from the welding process. The project focussed around four industrial applications, namely petrochemical, boiler, offshore and submarine. This paper presents through-thickness residual stress measurements obtained by the University of Bristol on two of the large industrial components. The results were obtained using the deep hole drilling technique and compared to Finite Element predictions provided by other partners. The components considered are a large P275 steel set-in nozzle, typical of a boiler application and a large S690 steel set-on nozzle, typical of an offshore application. The boiler application consisted of a nozzle of diameter 600mm and thickness 50mm, on a pipe of diameter 1100mm and 100mm thickness. The offshore application was a nozzle of diameter 900mm and thickness 50mm, on a pipe of diameter 1050mm and 50mm thickness. Both the longitudinal and transverse stresses measured using deep hole drilling showed excellent agreement with Finite Element predictions through the thickness of the boiler sample. On the top surface, a zone of tensile residual stresses, over a distance of approximately 40mm, was revealed, which was equilibrated by a zone of compressive residual stresses over the final 50mm of thickness. Results for the offshore application demonstrated that at the front surface, both of the stress components were essentially zero, but both the longitudinal and transverse components rose rapidly to maxima of approximately 500MPa and 220MPa, respectively. Tensile residual stresses were supported over a distance of approximately 30mm. Over the final 20mm of thickness, compressive residual stresses existed, which again fell to approximately zero on the back face. There is excellent agreement between measurements and the Finite Element predictions for the transverse stress component, but less good agreement between measurements and predictions of the longitudinal stress component.
