In this paper we present an improved analysis of residual stress data of a pipe girth weld by applying the developed heuristic method to one set of high-quality residual stress measurement data. The through-thickness residual stress is expressed as a parametric function form which is a combination of three stress components: membrane, bending and self-equilibrating. This parametric function form provides not only a clear physical basis for the residual stress profile, but is also closely related to two important governing parameters, i.e. the pipe geometry and the welding heat input. The residual stress profiles obtained are also compared with results predicted by the Bayesian method as well as the profiles from the UK R6 procedure and the US API 579 code.

In this paper, the mechanics basis underlying the parametric through-thickness residual stress profiles proposed for the revised API 579 Appendix E are presented. The proposed residual stress profiles are governed to a large extent by a unified parametric function form valid for a broad spectrum of pipe and vessel welds. The functional relationship is established based on the comprehensive knowledge base developed within a recent major international joint industry project (JIP) under the auspice of Pressure Vessel Research Council (PVRC) and a large amount of residuals stress measurement data from recent literature. One of the most important features associated with the proposed revision is that residual stress profile is uniquely determined by two important sets of governing parameters: (1) parameters relevant to pipe geometry, i.e., r/t and t; (2) a parameter related to welding linear heat input Q (J/mm), referred to as the characteristic heat input Qˆ which has a dimension of J/mm3. As a result, the corresponding through-wall residual stress distribution exhibits a continuous change as a function of r/t, t, and Qˆ, instead of falling into a few discrete and unrelated profiles, as seen in the current Codes and Standards.

The application of procedures such as R6 or BS7910 for the structural assessment of defects in pressurised components containing residual stresses requires knowledge of the through-wall residual stress profile. Currently there is much interest in improving the residual stress profiles that are provided in the procedures. In this paper we present an improved analysis of residual stresses of the pipe girth welds by applying the developed heuristic method to one set of extended residual stress measurement data. The through-thickness residual stress is decomposed into three stress components: membrane, bending and self-equilibrating. The heuristic method was applied to the three components separately, so that the residual stress profile was a combination of the three stress components. This form provides not only a clear physical basis for the residual stress profile, but is also convenient for defect assessment where only the membrane and bending stress components are important.

Hard turning and grinding are competitive processes in many cases for manufacturing various mechanical products. Product performance is highly dependent on the process induced residual stresses. However, there exist some inconsistence regarding the true residual stress profiles generated by hard turning and grinding with and without the presence of a white layer. This study aims to clarify the pressing issues via an extensive residual stress measurement for five surface types: hard turned fresh (HTF), hard turned with a white layer (HTWL), ground fresh (GF), ground with a white layer (GWL), and as heat treated. The x-ray diffraction data revealed distinct differences in the residual stress profiles between the turned and ground surfaces. Specifically, the key findings are: (i) HTF surfaces generate a “hook” shaped residual stress profile characterized by surface compressive residual stress and maximum compressive residual stress in the subsurface, while GF surfaces only generate maximum compressive residual stress at the surface; (ii) HTWL surfaces generate a high tensile stress in the white layer, but has highly compressive residual stress in the deeper subsurface than the HTF surface; (iii) GWL surfaces only shift the residual stress to more tensile but does not affect the basic shape of the profile; (iv) Tensile residual stress in the HTWL surface is higher than that for the GWL one. However, the residual stress for the ground white layer does not become compressive and remains tensile in the subsurface; (v) Elliptical curve fitting is necessary for measuring residual stress for the HTWL surface due to the presence of shear stress induced severe Ψ splitting; (vi) Residual stresses by grinding show more scattering than those by hard turning; and (vii) Machining is the deterministic factor for the resulting residual stress magnitudes and profiles compared with the minor influence of initial residual stress by heat treatment.

Residual Stress Profile

In this paper we present a recently developed heuristic method for statistical analysis of residual stress that is based on a combination of the weighted least-squares method and the application of expert judgement. The least-squares method allows a model of the best residual stress profile to be determined as a linear combination of basis functions; the expert knowledge gives the flexibility of applying expert judgement to determine the weights from the observed scatter in the residual stress data. The heuristic method has been applied to a set of measurement data of a Welded Bead-on-Plate specimen. The results show that with the heuristic method, it is possible to obtain less conservative residual stress profile to a known confidence level.

Residual Stress Profile

A powerful new method for residual stress measurement is presented. A part is cut in two, and the contour, or profile, of the resulting new surface is measured to determine the displacements caused by release of the residual stresses. Analytically, for example using a finite element model, the opposite of the measured contour is applied to the surface as a displacement boundary condition. By Bueckner’s superposition principle, this calculation gives the original residual stresses normal to the plane of the cut. This “contour method” is more powerful than other relaxation methods because it can determine an arbitrary cross-sectional area map of residual stress, yet more simple because the stresses can be determined directly from the data without a tedious inversion technique. The new method is verified with a numerical simulation, then experimentally validated on a steel beam with a known residual stress profile.

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.

Residual Stress Analysis

Detailed analysis of residual stress profile due to laser micro-joining of two dissimilar biocompatible materials, polyimide (PI) and titanium (Ti), is vital for the long-term application of bio-implants. In this work, a comprehensive three dimensional (3D) transient model for sequentially coupled thermo-mechanical analysis of transmission laser micro-joining of two dissimilar materials has been developed by using the finite element (FE) code ABAQUS, along with a moving Gaussian laser heat source. The laser beam (wavelength of 1100 nm and diameter of 0.2 mm), moving at an optimized velocity, passes through the transparent PI, gets absorbed by the absorbing Ti, and eventually melts the PI to form the bond. The laser bonded joint area is 6.5 mm long by 0.3 mm wide. First the transient heat transfer analysis is performed and the nodal temperature profile has been achieved, and then used as an input for the residual stress analysis. Non-uniform mixed meshes have been used and optimized to formulate the 3D FE model and ensure very refined meshing around the bond area. Heat resistance between the two materials has been modeled by using the thermal surface interaction technique, and melting and solidification issues have been approximated in the residual stress analysis by using the appropriate material properties at corresponding temperature. First the model has been used to observe a good bonding condition with the laser parameters like laser traveling speed, power, and beam diameter (burnout temperature of PI > maximum temperature of PI achieved during heating > melting temperature of PI) and a good combination has been found to be 100 mm/min, 3.14 W and 0.2 mm respectively. Using this combination of parameters in heating, the residual stress profile of the laser-micro-joint has been calculated using FE model after cooling the system down to room temperature of 27 °C and analyzed in detail by plotting the stress profiles on the Ti and PI surfaces. Typically the residual stress profiles on the PI surface show low value in the middle, increase to higher values at about 160 μm from the centerline of the laser travel symmetrically at both sides, and to the contrary, on Ti surface show higher values near the centerline of traveling laser beam. The residual stresses have slowly dropped away on both the surfaces as the distance from the bond region increased further. Maximum residual stresses on both the Ti and PI surfaces are at the end of the laser travel, and are in the orders of the yield stresses of respective materials.

This paper provides the through-thickness welding residual stress profile in dissimilar metal nozzle butt welds of pressurized water reactors. For systematic investigations of the effects of geometric variables, i.e. the thickness and the radius of the nozzle and the length of the safe end, on welding residual stresses, idealized shape of nozzle is proposed and elastic-plastic thermo-mechanical finite element analyses are conducted. Through-wall welding residual stress profiles for dissimilar metal nozzle butt welds are proposed, which take a modified form of existing welding residual stress profiles developed for austenitic pipe butt weld in R6 code.

Cold-drawing is employed to fabricate wires and rods, which are mainly used as structural reinforcements in construction as well as in the tyre industry. As a consequence of processing, a residual stress profile is developed. In this paper, residual stress profiles are measured by neutron diffraction in cold-drawn pearlitic steel rods subjected to different deformations (true strain from 0.3 to 1.7). The results show that the residual stress profile produced by cold-drawing is similar in all the samples, irrespective of the degree of deformation.

Hard turning and grinding are precision processes in many cases for manufacturing various mechanical products. Product performance is highly dependent on the process induced residual stress. However, the basic differences in residual stress profiles generated by hard turning and grinding with and without the presence of a thermal white layer have not been well understood. This study aims to compare basic characteristics of the residual stress profiles using an extensive residual stress measurement for five surface types: hard turned fresh, hard turned with a white layer, ground fresh, ground with a white layer, and as heat treated. The X-ray diffraction data revealed distinct differences in the residual stress profiles for the five surface types. Hard turning with a sharp cutting tool generates a unique “hook” shaped residual stress profile characterized by compressive residual stress at the surface and maximum compressive residual stress in the subsurface, while “gentle” grinding only generates maximum compressive residual stress at the surface. The depth of compressive residual stress in the subsurface by hard turning is much larger than that by grinding. The high hertz pressure induced by the cutting tool in turning is the determining factor for the differences in residual stress. High tensile residual stress associates with the existence of a turned or a ground white layer. The coupled effects of high hertz pressure and rapid temperature change induced by tool wear play an important role in the resultant tensile residual stress. In addition, residual stress by grinding is more scattered than that by turning. Compared with the deterministic influence of machining process on the magnitudes and profiles of residual stress, the effect of heat treatment is minor.
