Residual stress in structural components is crucial as it affects both service performance and safety. To investigate the evolution of residual stress in a laser-peen-formed panel, this study adopted two plate samples of thickness 3 and 9 mm instead of the conventional Almen strip. The two plates were peened with an identical energy density of 10.99 GW/cm2. The residual stress across the entire section was determined using a slitting method, and near-surface stress was then verified by X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, cross-sectional variation in hardness and microstructure were characterized to understand the residual stress evolution. The experimental results showed that different thicknesses resulted in distinct spatial distributions of residual stress. The 3-mm plate demonstrated a shallow (0.5 mm) and lower compressive stress magnitude (−270 MPa) compared with a deeper (1 mm) and higher compressive stress (−490 MPa) in the 9-mm plate. Further analysis revealed that the deformation compatibility during the forming process inevitably leads to a stress compensation effect on the peened side. The decrease in the depth and magnitude of the compressive residual stress in the thin plate was mainly attributed to low stiffness and large deflection.

Residual stresses resulting from hot-forming processes represent an important aspect of a component’s performance and service life. Considering the whole process chain of hot forming, the integrated heat treatment provided by a defined temperature profile during cooling offers a great potential for the targeted adjustment of the desired residual stress state. Finite element (FE) simulation is a powerful tool for virtual process design aimed at generating a beneficial residual stress profile. The validation of these FE models is typically carried out on the basis of individual surface points, as these are accessible through methods like X-ray diffraction, hole-drilling, or the nanoindentation method. However, especially in bulk forming components, it is important to evaluate the quality of the model based on residual stress data from the volume. For these reasons, in this paper, an FE model which was already validated by near surface X-ray diffraction analyses was used to explain the development of residual stresses in a reference hot forming process for different cooling scenarios. Subsequently, the reference process scenarios were experimentally performed, and the resulting residual stress distributions in the cross-section of the bulk specimens were determined by means of the contour method. These data were used to further validate the numerical simulation of the hot forming process, wherein a good agreement between the contour method and process simulation was observed.

AbstractCold extruded components are characterized by residual stresses, which originate from the experienced manufacturing process. For industrial applications, reproducibility and homogeneity of the final components are key aspects for an optimized quality control. Although striving to obtain identical deformation and surface conditions, fluctuation in the manufacturing parameters and contact shear conditions during the forming process may lead to variations of the spatial residual stress distribution in the final product. This could lead to a dependency of the residual stress measurement results on the relative axial and circumferential position on the sample. An attempt to examine this problem is made by the employment of design of experiments (DoE) methods. A statistical analysis of the residual stress results generated through X-Ray diffraction is performed. Additionally, the ability of cold extrusion processes to generate uniform stress states is analyzed on specimens of austenitic stainless steel 1.4404 and possible correlations with the pre-deformed condition are statistically examined. Moreover, the influence of the coating, consisting of oxalate and a MoS2 based lubricant, on the X-Ray diffraction measurements of the surface is investigated.

Water cavitation peening (WCP) with aeration, namely, a new ventilation nozzle with aeration is adopted to improve the process capability of WCP by increasing the impact pressure induced by the bubble collapse on the surface of components. In this study, in order to investigate the process capability of the WCP with aeration a standard N-type almen strips of spring steel SAE 1070 was treated byWCP with various process conditions, and the arc height value and the residual stress in the superficial layers were measured by means of the Almen-scale and X-ray diffraction method, respectively. The optimal fluxes of aeration and the optimal standoff distances were achieved. The maximum of arc height value reach around 150μm. The depth of plastic layer observed from the results of residual stresses is up to 150μm. The results verify the existence of macro-plastic strain in WCP processing. The distributions of residual stress in near-surface under different peening intensity can provide a reference for engineers to decide the optimal process conditions of WCP processing.

AbstractEpitaxial aluminum nitride (AlN) thin films were successfully prepared on the (0001) sapphire substrate by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using aluminum iodide (AlI3) and ammonia (NH3) under atmospheric pressure at 750 ºC. The crystallographic relationship between AlN thin films and Al2O3 substrate is in the following; AlN(0001)//Al2O3(0001) and AlN[1010]//Al2O3[1120]. Lattice parameters of AlN thin film measured by X-ray diffraction revealed that c=0.498 and a=0.311 nm, respectively. Residual stress estimated by modified sin2ψ method was 0.38 GPa in compressive stress. Cross-sectional TEM observation revealed that an interlayer lies between the AlN films and the sapphire substrate. It was suggested that relaxation of residual stress caused by the mismatching of lattice parameter and thermal expansion coefficient was brought about by the interlayer.

To enhance the fatigue resistance of mechanical components, different surface treatment processes are often applied to put the near surface layer into compression. Surface treatment processes are typically associated with deformation and work-hardening of the material. When applying x-ray diffraction techniques to the characterization of such surfaces, the work-hardening will cause the x-ray diffraction peak width to increase. When peak widths reach high values, the peak tail may extend beyond the active area or window of the multichannel x-ray detector, in which case the peak is truncated. Subsequent analytical treatment of broad diffraction peaks is troublesome and advanced numerical methods are required to accurately determine the peak position. The following work indicates that when a wider detector is used it is possible to collect the full, non-truncated peak, determine the peak position with a high level of confidence and subsequently, to calculate the residual stress with much improved repeatability and reproducibility.

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.

The main focus of the presented work was the investigation of structure and residual stress gradients in the near-surface region of materials studied by X-ray diffraction. The multireflection method was used to measure depth-dependent stress variation in near-surface layers of a Ti sample (grade 2) subjected to different mechanical treatments. First, the multireflection grazing incidence diffraction method was applied on a classical diffractometer with Cu Kα radiation. The applicability of the method was then extended by using a white synchrotron beam during an energy dispersive (ED) diffraction experiment. An advantage of this method was the possibility of using not only more than one reflection but also different wavelengths of radiation. This approach was successfully applied to analysis of data obtained in the ED experiment. There was good agreement between the measurements performed using synchrotron radiation and those with Cu Kα radiation on the classical diffractometer. A great advantage of high-energy synchrotron radiation was the possibility to measure stresses as well as thea0parameter andc0/a0ratio for much larger depths in comparison with laboratory X-rays.

The experimental analysis of near-surface residual stresses by X-ray diffraction methods is based on measuring the spacings of lattice planes while the inclination ψ with respect to the surface plane is changed stepwise. A characteristic feature of conventional techniques is that the penetration depth of the X-rays is altered as inclination is varied. By simultaneously varying three different goniometer angles in a particular fashion, both the penetration depth and the measuring direction can be held constant while ψ is varied. Thus the normal and shear stresses can be derived from the sin2ψ plots by means of standard evaluation procedures developed for gradient-free stress states. The depth profile of residual stress is then obtainedviaLaplace transformation of the results from several stress measurements carried out at different penetration depths. In the present paper, the feasibility of this experimental approach for characterizing the strongly graded, non-equiaxed stress state existing at a machined surface is demonstrated. The results from constant-penetration-depth measurements on the ground surface of an engineering ceramic are compared with those from conventional sin2ψ measurements.

Two grades of Steel, with tempered martensitic structure, were used for fatigue tests. From such tests, samples were obtained with significant differences in the probability of fatigue failure. The latter was related to surface/sub-surface misorientation developments and developments in compressive residual stresses. A combination of glancing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) and high resolution cross-sectional EBSD (electron back scattered diffraction) were used. The study brings out a clear correlation between misorientation, residual stress and fatigue life.
