The determination of residual stresses via X-ray diffraction is briefly reviewed, with particular emphasis on the triaxial stress state. A new method is proposed for determining the general stress tensor, which considerably reduces the variances of the stresses due to counting statistics and gradients. The procedure involves a generalised least-squares solution of strains measured at various tilts of the X-ray beam to the sample, and a new set of tilts is recommended to minimise these errors.

Currently, the sin2ψ method is established as an effective technique as how to measure the residual stress state of metal materials non-destructively by X-ray diffraction. In recent years, new X-ray stress measurements with two-dimensional detector are developed and spreading in the world. There is the cosα method as one of the new techniques. However, the research about the statistical errors in the method continues. The measurement theory of the cos α method is reviewed on the triaxial stress state. The triaxial stress analysis by the method is examined and discussed from a viewpoint of the derived errors for the determination.

The basic principle of the X-ray diffraction analysis is based on the determination of components of residual stresses. They are determined on the basis of the change in the distance between atomic planes. The method is limited by a relatively small depth in which the X-ray beam penetrates into the analysed materials. For determination of residual stresses in the surface layer the X-ray diffraction and electrolytic polishing has to be combined. The article is deals with the determination of residual stress and real material structure of a laser-welded steel sample with an oxide surface layer. This surface layer is created during the rolling and it prevents the material from its corrosion. Before the X-ray diffraction analysis can be performed, this surface layer has to be removed. This surface layer cannot be removed with the help of electrolytic polishing and, therefore, it has to be removed mechanically. This mechanical procedure creates “technological” residual stress in the surface layer. This additional residual stress is removed by the electrolytic polishing in the depth between 20 and 80 μm. Finally, the real structure and residual stresses can be determined by using the X-ray diffraction techniques.

Residual stresses have a fundamental effect on the operational behaviour and lifetime of industrial products. The fatigue resistance of machine parts can be increased by introducing residual compressive stresses into the surface region. For certain machine parts especially in the vehicle industry the residual stress is strongly demanded by the quality control. For this reason, measuring the stress accurately is becoming increasingly important. The Almen test, which only gives a qualitative result, is widely used in the industry. Shot peening and rolling are methods which are suitable for creating elastic residual stresses. This paper examines the technologies used by Rába Futómű Nyrt. to increase the lifetime by means of residual stress. We performed analysis of the residual stress of samples shot peened the same way but under different heat treatment states. We compared the residual stress values of burnished and hardened shaft joints, and the residual stress states of gear made of hardened alloy, comparing the carbonized ones to ones which were shot peened under small intensity.

AbstractThe feasibility of using X-ray diffraction methods to measure residual stresses in uranium and zirconium (Zircaloy-2) was investigated. A precision method was developed for the determination of diffraction peak positions and the precision associated therewith. The statistical tables of Fisher and Yates were used to determine what order polynomial provided the best least squares fit within the known precision of the observed data. It was found that a second-order polynomial provided an adequate regression. With the aid of a desk calculator less than 5 min calculation time is required to determine the peak position to a precision of ±0.01°.The stress constant for uranium was determined to be 1308 ± 110 psi/0.01° shift in Δ2θ for copper radiation on the (116) planes at 2θ = 158.3°. The stress constant for Zircaloy-2 was determined to be 430 ± 1 psi/0.01° shift in Δ2θ for chromium radiation on the (10,4) planes at 2θ = 156.4°.

In order to clarify the mechanical features of a metal under thermal cyclic loading for the system Ni30Cr-Cr2O3, a specific study has been carried out. In the present work, the residual stresses in both the metal and the oxide layer have been investigated. An adapted method is applied to process the experimental results that were obtained by using in-situ high temperature synchrotron diffraction at European Synchrotron Radiation Facility. The sin2ψ analysis provides information about the stress in metal and oxide. X-ray diffraction provides also the lattice parameter between crystallographic planes in the metal. To obtain correct stress values, a correction method is also proposed taking into account different discrepancies sources to ensure the equation of mechanical balance.
