W/2024Al composites can be used for radiation shielding with desirable mechanical properties such as high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and low density. The quench-induced residual stresses in W/2024Al composites were studied by experimental measurements and numerical analysis using ABAQUS software. Due to the accurate calculation of heat transfer coefficients and the established constitutive equation for description of the variation of yield stress at elevated temperature with different strain rates, the prediction of residual stresses in as-quenched composite blocks achieved by finite element method (FEM) is reliable. Moreover, X-ray diffraction and crack-compliance method were carried out to measure the stresses that developed at the surface and interior of the composites to validate the simulation results. Quenching residual stresses of composite blocks were investigated by taking the influence of quenching medium temperature into consideration. In addition, a comparative study on residual stress magnitudes of as-quenched 2024Al and W/2024Al composites was conducted, and the results show that stress magnitudes of W/2024Al composites are lower than that of 2024Al due to lower thermal gradients during the quenching process.

Welded, thick-walled piping intersections are widely used in many engineering applications including the offshore and nuclear power industries. These components are often fabricated by multipass welding, which inevitably introduces undesirable residual stresses. In this paper, weld-induced residual stresses in a thick-walled piping intersection were predicted using a validated, full three dimensional, sequentially coupled thermomechanical finite element modeling technique. The moving heat source was simulated by imposing body heat flux onto the newly activated elements progressing along the circumferential weld path around the intersection during each pass. The effect of cooling rate on the final residual stress state, especially at critical areas where the peak residual stresses are located, was then investigated by applying different convective heat transfer coefficients to the exposed piping intersection surfaces. It was found that the magnitudes and overall spatial distributions of residual stresses were very sensitive to cooling rate. Residual stresses on the outer surfaces of the component can be significantly reduced by external cooling. On the other hand, cooling the inner surfaces can dramatically convert residual stresses from tensile to compressive in these regions. The results and modeling technique presented in this paper show that residual stress profiles in multipass welded complex geometries can be efficiently optimized through convenient cooling rate control.

The paper presents a method, tools and a newly developed algorithm for experimentally determining heat transfer coefficients in organic liquids and solutions. This work is made relevant by the problem of development of a new generation of aerospace technology. In this connection, improvements have been made to the pulse method of determining heat transfer coefficients that is based on the use of a micron-thick film sensor. The measurement setup was modified. A math model was constructed for the measuring sensor. Algorithms were developed for conducting the experiment and processing measurement results to determine heat transfer coefficients. Experimental uncertainties were analyzed. The paper provides results of experimental studies on certain organic liquids.

A probability distribution model, based on the local approach to fracture, has been developed and used for estimating cleavage fracture following prior loading (or warm pre-stressing) in two ferritic steels. Although there are many experimental studies it is not clear from these studies whether the generation of local residual stress and/or crack tip blunting as a result of prior loading contribute to the enhancement in toughness. We first identify the Weibull parameters required to match the experimental scatter in lower shelf toughness of the candidate steels. Second we use these parameters in finite element simulations of prior loading on the upper shelf followed by unloading and cooling to lower shelf temperatures to determine the probability of failure. The predictions are consistent with experimental scatter in toughness following WPS and provide a means of determining the relative importance of the crack tip residual stresses and crack tip blunting. We demonstrate that for our steels the crack tip residual stress is the pivotal feature in improving the fracture toughness following WPS. The paper finally discusses these results in the context of the non-uniqueness and the sensitivity of the Weibull parameters.

Multipass arc welding is commonly used for thick plates assemblies in shipbuilding. Sever thermal cycles induced by the process generate inhomogeneous plastic deformation and residual stresses. Metallurgical transformations contribute at each pass to the residual stress evolution. Since residual stresses can be detrimental to the performance of the welded product, their estimation is essential and numerical modelling is useful to predict them. Finite element analysis of multipass welding of a high strength steel is achieved with a special emphasis on mechanical and metallurgical effects on residual stress. A welding mock-up was specially designed for experimental measurements of in-depth residual stresses using contour method and deep hole drilling and to provide a simplified case for simulation. The computed results are discussed through a comparison with experimental measurements.

Selective laser melting (SLM) is known to generate large and anisotropic residual stresses in the samples. Accurate measurement of residual stresses on SLM-produced samples is essential for understanding the residual stress build-up mechanism during SLM, while a dramatic fluctuation can be observed in the residual stress values reported in the literature. On the basis of studying the influence of surface roughness on residual stress measured using X-ray diffraction (XRD), we propose a procedure coupling XRD technique with pretreatment consisting of mechanical polishing and chemical etching. The results highlight that residual stresses measured using XRD on as-built SLM-produced samples with high surface roughness are significantly lower than those measured on samples with finished surface, which is due to the stress relaxation on the spiked surface of as-built samples. Surface distribution of residual stresses and the effect of scanning strategy were systematically investigated for SLM-produced AlSi10Mg samples. Microstructural morphology was observed at the interface between sample and building platform and was linked to the surface distribution of residual stresses. This procedure can help us accurately measure the residual stresses in SLM-produced samples and thus better understand its build-up mechanism during the SLM process.

AbstractControl and manipulation of residual stresses in thin films is a key for attaining coatings with high mechanical and tribological performance. It is therefore imperative to have reliable residual stress measurements methods to further understand the dynamics involved. The sin2ψ method of X-ray diffraction was used to investigate the residual stresses on the tungsten carbide cobalt thin films deposited on a mild steel surface to understand the how the deposition parameters influence the generation of residual stresses within the substrate surface. X-ray spectra of the surface revealed an amorphous phase of the thin film therefore the stress measured was of the substrate surface and the effects of sputtering parameters on residual stress were analysed. Compressive stresses were identified within all samples studied. The results reveal that as the sputtering parameters are varied, the residual stresses also change. Optimum deposition parameters in terms of residual stresses were suggested.
