Residual Stress Relaxation

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the residual stress relaxation behavior in weldments. The stress relaxation is studied while successively reducing the size of weld specimens. Finite-element modeling was used to simulate the stress relaxation, and then an empirical model was derived based on the experimental and modeling results. The results of this study shall encourage industry users to utilize more plentiful conventional X-ray diffractometers for residual stress measurement of large weld components.

Residual Stress Relaxation

AbstractMarginal-restraint mandrel-free spinning is an advanced technology for manufacturing ellipsoidal heads with large diameter-thickness ratios. Nevertheless, the spinning-induced residual stress, which greatly influences the in-service performance of spun heads, should be removed. In this study, the effects of annealing on the residual-stress relaxation behavior of 5052H32 aluminum alloy spun heads were investigated. It is found that the residual stress first rapidly decreases and then remains steady with the increase in annealing time at the tested annealing temperatures. The relaxation of the residual stress becomes increasingly obvious with the increase in annealing temperature. When the annealing temperature is less than 220 °C, there are no obvious changes in grain size. Moreover, the spinning-induced dislocations are consumed by the static recovery behavior, which decreases the residual stress during annealing. When the annealing temperature is approximately 300 °C, the broken grains transform into equiaxed grains. In addition, static recrystallization and recovery behaviors occur simultaneously to promote the relaxation of the residual stress. Considering the different stress relaxation mechanisms, a model based on the Zener-Wert-Avrami equation was established to predict the residual-stress relaxation behavior. Finally, the optimized annealing temperature and time were approximately 300 °C and 30 min, respectively.

New Processing

Cr–Mo steel and Ni–Cr–Mo steel have higher strength and hardness than carbon steel, and they are occasionally used in harsh environments where high temperatures and high pressures are simultaneously applied in an oxidizing gas atmosphere. In general, in order to improve the fatigue strength of a material, it is important to impart compressive residual stress to the material surface to improve crack resistance and corrosion resistance. Conventionally, the most famous technique for imparting compressive residual stress by surface modification of a material is shot peening processing. However, in shot peening processing, there is concern that particles adhere to the surface of the material or the surface of the material becomes rough. Therefore, in this study high temperature and high-pressure cavitation was applied and the material surface was processed at the time of collapse. A theoretical and experimental study on a new processing method giving compressive residual stress was carried out. In the present study, we will report stress relaxation behavior due to the heat of cavitation in processed Cr–Mo steel and Ni–Cr–Mo steel.

Weld Residual Stress

This paper is focused on the discussion of weld residual stress relaxation in a uniform post weld heat treatment (PWHT). In particular, the paper is attempted to address a fundamental issue related to the PWHT stress relaxation behavior, i.e., what is the dominant stress relaxation mechanism in PWHT? Is it due to creep or material strength reduction at elevated temperature? The paper starts with a simplified 3-bar weld model to demonstrate how weld residual stress is developed and relaxed. It then follows with an example of thick section narrow groove weld to highlight the results and conclusions. The results clearly indicate that creep mechanism plays a dominant role in the stress relaxation of PWHT. Several other important observations related to the stress relaxation are also summarized.
