The effects of electrolytic grinding on surface conditions and residual stress characteristics has been experimentally investigated. Surface finish, uniformity of material removal, and corrosion resistance are found to be dependent on mechanical removal rate as determined by wheel downfeed as well as electrolyte flow rate. Downfeeds of approximately 0.002 in. in the process do not produce measurable residual stresses and therefore it was further established that electrolytic grinding with moderate downfeeds can be used in place of swab etching techniques for evaluation of residual stress distributions. The maximum residual surface stresses were found to be not more than 22,000 psi, well below the yield strength of the material and were induced during the most severe grinding conditions.

Cup Wheel

Grinding cup wheel is often used in the case of hand grinding which allows an important material removal rate but with secondary concern of surface integrity. Integrity is strongly affected by the process and consequently influences the surface behaviour in terms of resistivity to stress corrosion and crack initiation. This operation is difficult to master in terms of results on the surface and subsurface due to its manual nature. The paper presents results of an experimental study to investigate the residual stresses induced by this hand grinding process.

Passive grinding is a new rail grinding strategy. In this work, the influence of grinding pressure on the removal behaviors of rail material in passive grinding was investigated by using a self-designed passive grinding simulator. Meanwhile, the surface morphology of the rail and grinding wheel were observed, and the grinding force and temperature were measured during the experiment. Results show that the increase of grinding pressure leads to the rise of rail removal rate, i.e., grinding efficiency, surface roughness, residual stress, grinding force and grinding temperature. Inversely, the enhancement of grinding pressure and grinding force will reduce the grinding ratio, which indicates that service life of grinding wheel decreases. The debris presents dissimilar morphology under different grinding pressure, which reflects the distinction in grinding process. Therefore, for rail passive grinding, the appropriate grinding pressure should be selected to balance the grinding quality and the use of grinding wheel.

Welding Procedure

In this paper, some of the important controlling parameters governing weld residual stress distributions are presented for girth welds in pipe and vessel components, based on a large number of residual stress solutions available to date. The focus is placed upon the understanding of some of the overall characteristics in through-wall residual stress distributions and their generalization for vessel and pipe girth welds. In doing so, a unified framework for prescribing residual stress distributions is outlined for fitness-for-service assessment of vessel and pipe girth welds. The effects of various joint geometry and welding procedure parameters on through thickness residual stress distributions are also demonstrated in the order of their relative importance.

Particle Size And Shape

A preliminary study was conducted to evaluate the parametric dependence of the residual stress distributions in bone that result from an abrasive air-jet surface treatment. Specifically, the influence of particle size and shape used in the treatment on the residual stress, propensity of embedding particles and material removal were studied. Rectangular beams of cortical bone were prepared from bovine femurs and treated with aluminum oxide and glass particles with different treatment angles. Residual stresses within the bone were quantified in terms of the radius of curvature of the bone specimens measured before and after the treatments, as well as a function of time to quantify decay in the stress. The sub-surface distribution was also examined using the layer removal technique. Results showed that the particle size and shape could be used to control the amount of material removal and the magnitude of residual stress within the treated surfaces. An increase in size of the glass particles resulted in an increase in the residual stress and a decrease in material removed during the treatment. The magnitude of residual stress ranged from 22 MPa to nearly 44 MPa through modulation of the particle qualities (size and shape). A microscopic examination of the treated surfaces suggests that the residual stresses resulted primarily from near-surface deformation.

Fracture Performance

Tensile residual stresses, such as those generated by welding, act as crack opening stresses and can have a negative effect on the fatigue and fracture performance of a component. In this work the effect of representative residual stress distributions on the fracture behaviour of a ferritic steel has been examined using finite element analysis. A Gurson-type void growth model is used to model the effect of ductile tearing ahead of a crack. For the cases examined it is seen that a tensile residual stress field may lead to a reduction in the toughness of the material (as represented by the J-resistance curve). The observed difference in toughness can be linked to the different constraint levels in the specimens due to the introduction of the residual stress field and can be rationalised through the use of a two parameter, J–Q approach.

Effects of pipe dimensions and outer surface-buttering weld conditions on residual stress distributions were evaluated using the finite element method. Residual stresses were analyzed for 508–mm-diameter (500A) pipe 38.1 mm thick, 508–mm-diameter (500A) pipe 15.1 mm thick, and 267–mm-diameter (250A) pipe 15.1 mm thick. After the residual stresses at pipe butt joints were analyzed, residual stresses at these joints subjected to the outer surface-buttering welds were analyzed. Residual stresses were determined for various weld widths, thicknesses, and heat inputs. These analyses indicate that tensile axial stress occurred at inner surface of the pipe butt joint and that it decreased with increasing the outer surface buttering-weld width or heat input. They also indicate that compressive hoop stress occurred at inner surface of the joint and that outer surface-buttering weld increased it. The outer surface-buttering weld conditions that generate compressive residual stress at the inner surface of the pipe butt joints were determined.

Altmann’s equations for describing the residual stresses in center-wound rolled webs are solved to determine the winding stress necessary to produce prescribed residual stress distributions in the finished roll. A solution for constant circumferential stress is expanded to control the peak winding stress. Two example winding problems are discussed.

Premature Failure

Tensile welding residual stresses can, in combination with operating stresses, lead to premature failure of components by fatigue and/or fracture. It is therefore important that welding residual stresses are accounted for in design and assessment of engineering components and structures. In this work residual stress distributions, obtained from measurements on a number of ferritic steel T-plate weldments using the neutron diffraction technique and the deep-hole drilling method, are presented. It has been found that the residual stress distributions for three different plate sizes are of similar shape when distances are normalized by plate thickness. It has also been found that the conservatisms in residual stress profiles recommended in current fracture mechanics-based safety assessment procedures can be significant—of yield strength magnitude in certain cases. Based on the data presented here a new, less-conservative transverse residual stress upper bound distribution is proposed for the T-plate weldment geometry. The extent of the plastic zone developed during the welding process has also been estimated by use of Vickers hardness and neutron diffraction measurements. It has been found that the measured plastic zone sizes are considerably smaller than those predicted by existing methods. The implications of the use of the plastic zone size as an indicator of the residual stress distributions are discussed.

Residual Internal Stress

Summary Due to the moisture and temperature gradients developed during hot pressing of medium density fibre-board (MDF), residual stresses occur within the board as it equilibrates to room conditions. It would be extremely useful to measure these residual stresses and to determine their effects on board properties such as moduli of elasticity and rupture in bending, internal bond strength and dimensional stability. In this article two methods, namely dissection and hole drilling, have been adapted to measure residual internal stress distributions in six different samples of industry produced MDF. The dissection method involves cutting several pieces of MDF perpendicular to the thickness direction at different depths. The residual stresses released by the dissection can be determined by measuring the curvatures of cut pieces and knowing their elastic moduli. The hole drilling method, on the other hand, involves mounting three strain gauges on the surface of a piece of MDF and drilling a hole to release residual stresses in close proximity. The released stresses are manifested as strains in the forms of which can be measured in three directions on the surface of the board. A theoretical model for predicting residual stresses involving various parameters has been developed and an excellent agreement with the experimental results from both the dissection and hole drilling methods has been achieved. Linear moisture expansion coefficient appears to have the greatest influence on residual stress. When compared against each other, the residual stresses measured by the hole drilling method show some shortcomings towards the centre of the board. While all six of the MDF boards exhibited similar trends in their residual stress distributions, significant differences were identified in the magnitudes of residual stress measured. Finally, some preliminary results linking the residual stress with the thickness swell of the samples and their surface densities have been presented.
