Management of the residual stress state is vital for the design and production stages of carburised components in order to satisfy the technical requirements related to performance, fatigue behaviour and useful lifetime. This enforces the use of practical, reliable and time- and cost-effective stress measurement methods by manufacturers. This study aims to investigate the efficiency of the magnetic Barkhausen noise (MBN) method in rapid non-destructive determination of surface residual stresses in carburised steels. A series of AISI 8620 steel specimens with different residual stress states was prepared by altering the carburising and subsequent tempering parameters. The specimens were characterised through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigations and hardness measurements, and the surface residual stresses were determined using both the MBN and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. The results show that a good correlation exists between surface residual stress and the parameters derived from the MBN signals.

The performance of engineering components under conditions of fatigue can be improved by shot peening. The location and magnitude of the highest residual compressive stress, the depth of the compression zone and the stability of the residual stress state during cyclic loading are critical parameters for maximum utilisation of the advantageous influence of shot peening on fatigue performance. For accurate assessment of fatigue lifetime, residual stresses should be considered because they are algebraically summed with applied stresses. Therefore, the development of a non-destructive testing (NDT) method that has the ability to rapidly monitor surface residual stresses has industrial importance when verifying the achievement of the design goals of shot peening. The utilisation potential of the magnetic Barkhausen noise (MBN) technique in shot peening of ferromagnetic steels includes automated sorting of the components and measurement of surface residual stress. This study aims to establish the correlation between MBN emission and the fatigue life of shot-peened AISI 4140 steel.

The generation and distribution of workpiece surface and sub-surface residual stress were predicted through the dynamic finite element simulation of the grinding ceramic process. The base of the simulation is that the thermo elastic-plastic finite element theory and the coupling of grinding forces and temperature were adopted. The results obtained from X-ray diffraction measurement compared well with the values calculated from theory. The correlation between grinding parameters and the ceramic residual stresses was investigated. The research results show that the normal grinding force is the primary factor responsible for the generation of residual stress in grinding ceramic. The mechanical effect of the grains is to affect the magnitude, the depth of penetration and the gradient of the residual stresses.

Variations of surface residual stresses as a function of weld runs in API 5L X70 steel plates were non-destructively monitored by Magnetic Barkhausen Noise (MBN) method. After each weld run, MBN signal and hardness distributions were recorded. MBN signals were converted into stress values by using a specific calibration procedure. The results were analyzed by considering microstructure investigations and hardness measurements, and then, they were compared with the results of X-ray diffraction measurements. MBN method seems to be a good candidate for monitoring the variation of surface residual stresses. It may also provide critical data for computer simulation and process design of welding processes.

Invar 36 alloy is widely used in manufacturing instruments because of its minimal thermal expansion coefficient. As an important material for the components of precision or super-precision instruments, the process methods for Invar and the structure stability after its machining is necessary. In this paper, the residual stresses of the Invar samples after plane grinding were measured. The experimental results indicate that clear tension stress exists in the surface of Invar alloy along the grinding direction, while, on the cross direction, the states of surface residual stresses are complicated and affected by the parameters of grinding. A typical disk model has been calculated and analyzed by Finite Element Method (FEM), and the deformation caused by surface residual stress was presented. Finally, the effect of grinding as final working procedure on the stability of Invar structure was estimated.

In previous work it has been shown that near surface residual stresses may be deduced from surface strains produced by making a cut of progressively increasing depth. The process of electric discharge wire machining (EDWM), by providing very narrow cuts, greatly improves the ability of the method to resolve a stress gradient near the surface. However, the EDWM process may also introduce residual stresses. In the present work a model for estimating the influence of EDWM is presented, and a procedure for eliminating its effect on residual stress measurement is developed. Experimental results validate the theoretical approach.

The use of thin cuts for residual stress measurement is referred to as the crack compliance method. A computational model is presented for the determination of normal and shear residual stresses near the surface by introducing shallow cuts. The optimum regions for strain measurement are obtained. This method is shown to be considerably more sensitive than the conventional hole drilling method and is capable of measuring residual stresses which vary with depth below the surface.
