Residual Stress Profile

ABSTRACTThe special application environment puts forward the higher requirement of reliability of parts made from titanium alloy Ti–6Al–4V, which is closely related to the machining-induced residual stress. For the fact of the non-linear distribution of residual stress beneath the machined surface, distribution of peripheral milling-induced residual stress and its effect on fatigue performance of titanium alloy Ti–6Al–4V are still confusing. In the present study, residual stress profile induced by peripheral milling of Ti–6Al–4V is first studied. And then, energy criteria are proposed to characterise the whole state of the residual stress field. Finally, the effects of residual stress profile and surface energy on tensile–tensile fatigue performance of titanium alloy Ti–6Al–4V are discussed. The conclusions were drawn that the variation trend of surface residual stress (σr,Sur), maximum compressive residual stress (σC,ax), location (hr0) and response depth (hry) of residual stress profile with cutting parameters showed a similar pattern for both measure directions those parallel (σ1) and perpendicular (σ3) to the cutting direction. Cutting speed and feed rate have a main effect on surface residual stress, and the depth of cut has little effect on all the four key factors of residual stress profile. With the increase of cutting speed and feed rate, machining-induced surface energy tends to become larger. But increasing the depth of cut caused the strain energy stored in unit time to decrease. Furthermore, the effect of depth of cut on surface energy was weakened when the value of cutting depth becomes larger. Both the surface compressive residual stress and the maximum compressive residual stress are beneficial for prolonging the fatigue life, while large value of machining-induced surface energy leads to a decrease of fatigue life. Analysis of variance result shows that maximum residual compressive stress has a greater impact on fatigue life than other residual stress factors.

The nickel-based superalloy GH4169 is widely applied in the aviation industry due to its outstanding mechanical properties. However, many blades of GH4169 are still produced by milling and manual polishing, which is costly and unreliable. In this article, GH4169 superalloy components manufactured with combination processes of milling, grinding, and polishing were comparatively studied involving surface integrity and fatigue performance. Test results indicate that the final polishing is the most dominant process that influences the high-cycle fatigue life of GH4169 components. Samples produced via cubic boron nitride grinding and numerical control polishing with a diamond-rubber wheel exhibit fatigue limits of 150 MPa higher than the milled and manually polished samples. Cubic boron nitride grinding induces a considerable compressive residual stress profile with a magnitude of -930 MPa and a depth of 200 μm. Milling induces a typical “hook” residual stress profile with 318 MPa at the surface. Polishing affects the machined surface by two ways, the removal effect and the squeezing effect. The squeezing effect induces a shallow compressive residual stress with approximately −1000 MPa, therefore improves the surface condition. However, inevitable omissions, scratches, texture disorders, and knock marks in hand-polishing are the main causes of the unstable high-cycle fatigue life of hand-polished components.

Initiation And Propagation

Depending on the intensity of mechanical and thermal loads during hard turning, compressive and/or tensile residual stress can be obtained. However, only compressive residual stress contributes to avoid crack initiation and propagation and increase fatigue life. In order to induce compressive residual stress in the workpiece surface and subsurface, cutting edge geometry is one of the most important influence factors. Taking this into account, the influence of new customized cutting edge geometries on the parameters of a hook-shaped residual stress profile (typical of a hard turning process) is investigated and possible causes for the encountered phenomena are explained. It was found that edge geometries, which provide an increase in contact length between tool and workpiece, lead to higher compressive residual stress in the subsurface and deeper affected zones.

Residual Stress Profile

Machining induced residual stresses have an important effect on the surface integrity. Effects of various factors on the distribution of residual stress profiles induced by different machining processes have been investigated by many researchers. However, the initial residual, as one of the important factor that affect the residual stress profile, is always been ignored. In this paper, the residual stress field induced by the quenching process is simulated by the FEM software as the initial condition. Then the initial residual stress field is used to study the residual stress redistribution after the machining process. The influence of initial stress on the stress formation is carried out illustrating with the mechanical and thermal loads during machining processes. The effects of cutting speed on the distribution of residual stress profile are also discussed. These results are helpful to understand how initial residual stresses are redistributed during machining better. Furthermore, the results in the numerical study can be used to explain the machining distortion problem caused by residual stress in the further work.

Stress Profiles

Residual stress prediction in hard turning has been recognized as one of the most important and challenging tasks. A hybrid finite element predictive model has been developed with the concept of plowed depth to predict residual stress profiles in hard turning. With the thermo-mechanical work material properties, residual stress has been predicted by simulating the dynamic turning process followed by a quasi-static stress relaxation process. The residual stress profiles were predicted for a series of plowed depths potentially encountered in machining. The predicted residual stress profiles agree with the experimental one in general. A transition of residual stress profile has been recovered at the critical plowed depth. In addition, the effects of cutting speed, friction coefficient and inelastic heat coefficient on residual stress profiles have also been studied and explained.

The objective of this paper was to compare the creep feed superabrasive machining of an alpha-beta structural titanium alloy, using a water-soluble and a straight oil grinding fluid, in terms of residual stress, specific energy, power flux and microstructure. The statistical effect of process variables on these criteria was investigated using a Taguchi screening design of experiment. Grinding wheel peripheral velocity, abrasive size and fluid type were the most important factors contributing to compressive residual stress. After the depth of cut, fluid type contributed the most variation to specific energy and power flux. Both fluids produced testpieces that were microstructurally sound, and were essentially stress free or had favorable compressive residual stress.

Significant Difference

Compared with grinding, hard turning is a competitive manufacturing process that in many cases has substantial benefits. The most significant difference between hard turning and grinding is that hard turning may induce a relatively deep compressive residual stress. However, the interactions among the residual stress profile, applied load, and surface material, and their effects on component life in rolling contact are poorly understood. Further, contact stresses and strains are difficult to measure using the current experimental techniques due to the small-scale of the phenomena. A new simulation model of rolling contact has been developed to account for a process-induced residual stress profile. It has shown that distinct residual stress patterns hardly affect neither the magnitudes nor the locations of peak stresses and strains below the surface. However, they have a significant influence on surface deformations. The slope and depth of a compressive residual stress profile are key factors for rolling contact fatigue damage, which was substantiated by the available experimental data. Equivalent plastic strain could be a parameter to characterize the relative fatigue damage. The magnitudes of process-induced residual stress are reduced in rolling contact. The predicted residual stress pattern and magnitude agree with the test data in general. In addition, rolling contact is more sensitive to normal load and residual stress pattern than tangential load.

Residual Stress Profile

In order to improve the surface quality of ultra high strength low alloy steel work-pieces produced by high-speed face milling process, 23-1 factorial design experiment was con-ducted and the residual stress profiles within the surface and subsurface layer of work-pieces were measured. Corresponding empirical models for the residual stress profile were presented and the effects of cutting parameters (cutting velocity, feed per tooth, depth of cut) on characteristics of the residual stress profile were studied. Results show that: with the range of cutting parameters tested, the compressive residual stress profile would be induced below the work-pieces’ surfaces machined by high speed face milling process. Feed per tooth has the critical influence on the characteristics of the compressive stress profile, and the mechanism of residual stress generation will be different when feed per tooth changes in high speed machining process. To obtain higher compressive stress and deeper compressive stress profile depth, larger feed rate and depth of cut are required.

Residual Stress Profile

To investigate the unique hook-shaped residual stress profile generated from hard turning process, an improved orthogonal (2-D) Finite Element (FE) model is established to include the ploughing effect of cutting edge. The model is further decomposed into two FE sub-models (sub-model 1 and sub-model 2) to determine the thermal and mechanical effects on the residual stress profiles by saw-tooth chip formation process and honed-edge ploughing process respectively. The two FE sub-models are sequentially adopted to evaluate the compression effect induced by chip formation process and ploughing effect resulted from honed-edge cutting tool on residual stress profile. Their separated and integrated effects on residual stress hook-shape profile are addressed by comparing the predicted residual stresses by sub-model 1, sub-model 2, the two sub-models’ superposition, and the whole improved FE model. The results show that chip formation effect on residual stress profile happens earlier than the ploughing effect. Chip formation effect provides a foundation for the finalized residual stress profile by determining the maximum depth and magnitude of the compressive residual stress. Ploughing process generates much more thermal load to produce the tensile residual stress in hard turned surface and sequentially drives the final resultant residual stress into an obvious hook-shaped by modifying the previous compressive residual stress profile. The location with the maximum compressive residual stress is identified as the critical position to separate the mechanical load and thermal load generated from ploughing effect. The decomposition methodology on mechanical and thermal effects is proposed and thoroughly discussed in the paper.

Nitriding is an hardening thermomechanical treatment generally used to improve fatigue life of steel parts, like gear for example. Another effect of this treatment is generating superficial stress, influenced by nitriding conditions, composition of steel and geometry of the part. This work deals with the effect of shape on the residual stress profile obtain after nitriding on a gear tooth. The residual stress profile was determined using neutrons diffraction technique.
