Effects of stacking faults in a high nitrogen face-centered-cubic phase (γΝ) formed on plasma source ion nitrided 1Cr18Ni9Ti (18-8 type) austenitic stainless steel on peak shift and peak asymmetry of x-ray diffraction were investigated based on Warren’s theory and Wagner’s method, respectively. The peak shift from peak position of the γΝ phase is ascribed to the deformation faults density α, while the peak asymmetry of the γΝ phase is characterized by deviation of the center of gravity of a peak from the peak maximum (Δ C.G.) due to the twin faults density β. The calculated peak positions of x-ray diffraction patterns are consistent with that measured for plasma source ion nitrided 1Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel.

The residual stress tensor for cracked austenitic stainless steel was measured by a two-dimensional X-ray diffraction method. Higher von Mises equivalent stress concentrations, attributed to hot crack initiation, were obtained at both crack ends. The stress of 400 MPa at the crack end in the columnar grain region was about two-fold larger than that of 180 MPa in the equiaxed grain region. This difference was caused by a depression in the cast slab.

Residual stresses impact on a wide variety of industrial sectors including the automotive, power generation, industrial plant, construction, aerospace, railway and transport industries, and a range of materials manufacturers and processing companies. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique is one of the most popular methods for measuring residual stress (Kandil et al., 2001) used routinely in quality control and materials characterization for validating models and design. The VAMAS TWA20 Project 3 activity on the “Measurement of Residual Stresses by X-ray Diffraction” was initiated by NPL in 2005 to examine various aspects of the XRD test procedure in support of work aimed at developing an international standard in this area. The purpose of this project was to examine and reduce some of the sources of scatter and uncertainty in the measurement of residual stress by X-ray diffraction on metallic materials, through an international intercomparison and validation exercise. One of the major issues the intercomparison highlighted was the problem associated with measuring residual stresses in austenitic stainless steel. The following paper describes this intercomparison, reviews the results of the exercise and details additional work looking at developing best practice for measuring residual stresses in austenitic stainless steel, for which X-ray measurements are somewhat unreliable and problematic.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of hydrogen on the micro-and macro-strain of austenitic stainless steel using X-ray diffraction. When hydrogen is trapped in lattice sites, it can affect both the micro-and macro-strain. The micro-strain was evaluated through fitting profiles to measured X-ray diffraction profile using a fundamental parameter method. The macro-strain, i.e., the residual stress, was evaluated by a 2D method using a two-dimensional PSPC. The experimental samples were charged with hydrogen by a cathodic charging method. The results revealed that the induced residual stress was equi-biaxial and compressive, and that the micro-strain increased. Both of these varied rapidly with increasing hydrogen charging time. Saturation occurred at a compressive stress of around 130 MPa. On reaching saturation, the hydrogen charging was terminated and desorption of hydrogen began at room temperature. Then, the strains decreased and the compressive stress reverted, ultimately, to a tensile stress of 180 MPa. Martensitic transformation occurred due to hydrogen charging and this had a significant effect on the X-ray diffraction profile.
