This paper aims to provide a detailed assessment of some of the existing residual stress profiles prescribed in widely used fitness-for-service assessment codes and standards, such as BS 7910 Appendix Q, by taking advantage of some comprehensive residual studies that become available recently. After presenting a case study on which residual stress measurements are available for validating finite element based residual stress solution procedure, residual stress profiles stipulated in BS 7910 for girth welds are evaluated in the context of a series of parametric finite element results and a shell theory based full-field residual stress estimation scheme. As a result, a number of areas for improvement in residual stress profile development are identified, including some specific considerations on how to attain some of these improvements.

For supporting fitness-for-service (FFS) assessment, this paper presents a method for providing a full field description of through-thickness residual stress profiles for pipe girth welds, beyond weld locations (e.g., at weld centerline and weld toe). The paper starts with a brief introduction of the finite element modeling procedure used in this study. Experimental validations are performed for a pipe weld geometry on which detailed experimental data have recently become available in the literature. Then, a large number of parametric residual stress analyses are performed to identify key parameters that govern through-thickness residual stress distribution characteristics. These parameters are not only shown to uniquely contribute to some of the important residual stress distribution characteristics of interest to FFS, but also can be formulated, to the first approximation, using basic mechanics and physics principle. Finally, a detailed application of the proposed full field residual stress estimation scheme is illustrated for various girth weld conditions.

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 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, i.e., turning hardened steels, may produce the unique “hook” shaped residual stress (RS) profile characterized by surface compressive RS and subsurface maximum compressive RS. However, the formation mechanism of the unique RS profile is not yet known. In this study, a novel hybrid finite element modeling approach based on thermal-mechanical coupling and internal state variable plasticity model has been developed to predict the unique RS profile patterns by hard turning AISI 52100 steel (62 HRc). The most important controlling factor for the unique characteristics of residual stress profiles has been identified. The transition of maximum residual stress at the surface to the subsurface has been recovered by controlling the plowed depth. The predicted characteristics of residual stress profiles favorably agree with the measured ones. In addition, friction coefficient only affects the magnitude of surface residual stress but not the basic shape of residual stress profiles.

Abstract A two-dimensional finite element model is developed to simulate the interaction between metal samples and laser-induced shock waves. Multiple laser impacts are applied at each location to increase plastically affected depth and compressive stress. The in-depth and surface residual stress profiles are analyzed at various repetition rates and spot sizes. It is found that the residual stress is not sensitive to repetition rate until it reaches a very high level. At extremely high repetition rate (100 MHz), the delay between two shock waves is even shorter than their duration, and there will be shock wave superposition. It is revealed that the interaction of metal with shock wave is significantly different, leading to a different residual stress profile. Stronger residual stress with deeper distribution will be obtained comparing with lower repetition rate cases. The effect of repetition rate at different spot sizes is also studied. It is found that with larger laser spot, the peak compressive residual stress decreases but the distribution is deeper at extremely high repetition rates.

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.

Experimental Findings

A multi-linear kinematic, two dimensional finite element model incorporating Bauschinger effect, developed using ANSYS commercial software is used to determine the effect of machining both at the bore and at the outside diameter, on the depth of yield, maximum firing pressure and final residual stress field present in an autofrettaged gun tube. The model, which is in good agreement with experimental findings, clearly shows that the reduction in maximum compressive circumferential stress is more sensitive to internal machining than to external machining; the depth of yield remains stable and there is no movement of the elastic-plastic interface, relative to its location before material removal. If the internal machining removes material in which reverse yield has occurred, the maximum firing pressure is not affected. The finite element analysis supported by experimental evidence thus leads to an optimization technique for gun tube design.

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.

The Impact

Abstract The understanding of residual stress is of critical importance in the cold spray and thermal spray processes. It has a direct effect on the integrity of the coating related to the adhesion strength, fatigue life, and can lead to undesired effects such as the delamination of the coating. In cold spray, several investigations have evaluated the impact of the residual stress on the coatings, and it is generally accepted that cold spray coatings follow a similar profile to those obtained in the shot peening process. Although the measurement of residual stresses gives fundamental insight into the process, the estimation of such stresses considering the deposition of each layer by numerical methods has not been extensively studied. This work proposes a method for analyzing the evolution of residual stress on a cold spray coating, both on the coating and the substrate, as a function of the deposited layers, using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The evolution of the residual stress profile with the coating thickness was obtained along the transverse direction. The results were compared to experimental and numerical data from previous studies. The influence of the deposition of each layer on the residual stress profile has been discussed.
