A method is proposed for measurement of the hoop stress in an axisymmetric residual stress field in cylinders in which the axial stress is independent of the axial coordinate. The method involves measuring strains at the outside surface while an axial crack is cut progressively from the outside. Experimental results are presented for two short cylindrical rings cut from a long quenched cylinder. Good general agreement is obtained with X-ray and hole drilling measurements of residual stresses.

The unknown and uneven macro-residual stresses in blanks will cause deformation on large-scale component, especially in non-prestretched plates. Based on the retrieval of stress field by measuring stress changes due to the rebalance of stresses after machining, a new idea is proposed in this paper to predict and control the machining deformation of large-scale components. It consists of analysis of the machining deformation, retrieval of macro-residual stress field, and finally optimization of following cutting process. In the retrieval process, the stresses are measured with an improved hole-drilling method and the measured data are then interpolated to 3D stress field.

The incremental blind hole-drilling and the X-ray diffraction methods were used to measure the residual stress field introduced by shot peening in aluminium alloy 6082-T5 plates. Two peening treatments were selected to produce different depth extensions and peak values arising from different extents of plastic deformation in the surface layer. The results are discussed considering the various sources of uncertainty; in addition to the measuring technique, the effects of the surface treatment that usually induces a strong plastic deformation in the surface layer resulting in material work hardening and worsening of the surface morphology were considered. The residual stress profiles determined by the two methods showed quite good agreement for the two conditions, as regards the values both of the compressive peak and of the penetration depth. The present results provide mutual confirmation of the effectiveness of the two methods for the study of this class of materials.

Railroad wheels are manufactured with beneficial residual compressive hoop stresses, which are imparted by rim quenching and tempering. Hoop and radial residual stresses for wheels have been studied in detail by various organizations over the years and are relatively well characterized. However axial residual stresses, in the orientation across the rim width from back rim face to front rim face, have not been extensively investigated. This paper describes a failure mode known as a vertical split rim (VSR) and describes efforts to measure the axial residual stresses in, 1) new wheels, 2) service worn wheels and 3) wheels that have failed from VSRs. Initial axial residual stress measurement efforts, using core drilling and x-ray diffraction from the tread surface, are briefly reviewed. Further more extensive work using x-ray diffraction to measure axial residual stress on radial wheel slices is described and data are presented, focusing on differences between the three wheel types. The concept of Axial Stress Amplification (ASA) is outlined, and the relationship of axial residual stress to VSRs is discussed. A proposed mechanism for VSR formation is described. Future work, with a goal of reducing or eliminating VSRs in service, is considered.

Thermal spray is one of the most used techniques to produce coatings on structural materials. Such coatings are used as protection against high temperatures, corrosion, erosion and wear. The combined action of high pressures, temperatures and spraying conditions give rise to non-uniform residual stresses. The latter plays an important role in coating design and process parameters optimization. The present work highlights the influence of coatings thickness on the evolution of residual stresses in layered materials. Therefore, thick stainless steel coatings (ASTM 301) of different thicknesses are manufactured by wire arc spraying on aluminium alloy substrates (ASTM 2017A). For a better bond strength, a Ni–Al bond coat is first deposited. Furthermore, a numerically supported hole drilling strain gage method for residual stress field evaluation is proposed. Required calibration coefficients, for the strain–stress transformation formalism based on the integral method, are computed through finite element calculations using Abaqus software. The results indicate that the maximum residual stresses, for all thicknesses, are tensile and range from 140 to 275 MPa. The bond coat does not seem to affect the stress field. Also, it was found that the mean equivalent Von-Mises stress decreases with increasing coating thickness; hence reducing the interfacial adhesion energy of the sprayed materials.

In common with all mechanical strain relief residual stress measurement methods, extra care must be taken when making measurements on components containing highly triaxial residual stress fields which are close to yield. The introduction of a free surface, created as part of the measurement procedure, can lead to plastic redistribution of the residual stress field. Usually, this is not accounted for in the elastic inversion algorithms of the experimental procedure. This paper demon­strates the usefulness and accuracy of deep-hole drilling (DHD) method [1] in a component predicted to contain a triaxial residual stress field. Previous measurements [2] are compared with the results of a DHD simulation on a type 316H stainless steel pipe containing a repair weld offset from an original girth weld. The influence of different material models was also studied.

Residual and thermal stresses have a considerable effect on the process of brittle fracture. In addition to this, the effect of these stresses on elastic-plastic fracture is known to be significant. This is accounted for in structural integrity assessment methodologies such as R6 Rev 4 and BS 7910:2013 by introducing factors representing the interaction between primary and secondary stresses (those that do and do not contribute towards plastic collapse, respectively). The initiation of ductile tearing in a ferritic pressure vessel steel was studied experimentally. Energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction was used to determine lattice strains in the vicinity of a crack tip in modified compact tension specimens at incremental loading steps until the initiation of ductile tearing. The X-ray diffraction measurements allowed the stress field to be evaluated with a high spatial resolution. At the same time, the pattern of total strain at the surface of the specimen was observed using digital image correlation. Prior to the experiment, two samples were subjected to localised out-of-plane compression ahead of the crack tip to introduce a residual stress field and hence significant crack loading in the absence of external load. Stress and strain field data for cracked specimens, with and without a pre-existing residual stress field, indicated significant differences in the development of plastic strain up to the point of tearing initiation. It is shown that this can only be explained when both residual stress and prior material hardening are taken into account.

This paper investigates residual stress due to fillet rolling on bolts made of ATI 718Plus® superalloy. Incremental hole drilling, neutron diffraction and neutron transmission have been used to assess residual stress near the bolt head fillet. A compressive residual stress field was identified in the first 0.5 mm from the surface. Post fillet rolling solution anneal can relieve the residual stress at the fillet.
