Experimental Findings

Alumina-zirconia multilayered ceramics have been proposed as an alternative for the design of structural ceramics with improved fracture toughness and strength reliability. During the processing of these laminates, significant residual stresses may arise due to the thermal expansion mismatch between adjacent layers. The correct evaluation of such stress distribution in the laminate may determine its range of application. In this work, the residual stress state in a layered material designed with five thick alumina layers of approximately 650 microns alternated with four thin alumina-zirconia layers of approximately 140 microns was estimated using different methods. A finite element analysis (FEM) was performed for stress evaluation in the bulk and an indentation method and X-Ray diffraction to account for stresses at the surface. Experimental findings show a constant stress distribution within the bulk for each layer, while at the surface stress position dependence is observed in the alumina layers, being the maximum tensile stresses near the layer interface. The accuracy of the results provided by each technique is discussed.

A new method of X-ray stress measurement was proposed to estimate non-destructively the steep residual stress distribution in the surface layer of ground Si3N4. We assumed an exponential decrement of the residual stress near the ground surface, and derived a formula for the lattice strain as a function of sin2Ψ. In the experiments, the diffraction angles were measured on the ground surface for a widest possible range of sin2ѱ using an Ω-goniometer. In order to measure the diffraction angle at very high sin η values, a scintillation counter was located on the -η side and an incident X-ray beam impinged on the ground surface with a very low angle from the +η side using the glancing incidence X-ray diffraction technique. A strong non-linearity was found in the 20-sin2ѱ diagrams especially at very high ѱ -angles. From the analysis of non-linearity, the stress distribution in the surface layer was determined. Tine residual stress took the maximum compression of 2 GPa at a depth of about 0.5 μm from the surface, and then diminished to zero at about 25 μm in depth. In the close vicinity of the ground surface, the compressive residual stress was relieved because of both the surface roughness and microcracking induced during the grinding process.

Residual Stress Profile

The aim of the study presented here was to evaluate the residual stresses present in a bar of aluminium alloy 2124-T1 matrix composite (MMC) reinforced with 25vol% particulate silicon carbide (SiCp) using X-ray diffraction and 3D profilometry (curvature measurement using Mitutoyo/Renishaw coordinate measurement machine) and comparing these results with numerical models of residual strain and stress profiles obtained by a simple inelastic bending model and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The residual strain distribution was introduced into the test piece by plastic deformation in the 4-point bending configuration. At the first stage of this study the elasticplastic behaviour of the MMC was characterized under static and cyclic loading to obtain the material parameters, hardening proprieties and cyclic hysteresis loops. Subsequently, synchrotron Xray diffraction and CMM curvature measurements were performed to deduce the residual stress profile in the central section of the bar. The experimental data obtained from these measurements were used in the inelastic bending and FEA simulations. The specimens were then subjected to incremental slitting using EDM (electric discharge machining) with continuous back and front face strain gauge monitoring. The X-ray diffraction and incremental slitting results were then analysed using direct and inverse eigenstrain methods. Residual stresses plots obtained by different methods show good agreement with each other.

The present work has been executed within the framework of the collaborative research center on Distortion Engineering (SFB 570) in order to evaluate the residual stress state of a disc after carburizing and quenching as well as to validate a simulation procedure. The combined use of X-ray and neutron diffraction analysis provided information about the residual stress states in the whole cross section. However, the stress free lattice spacing d0 for the neutron diffraction experiments is problematic and induces systematic uncertainties in the results and the application of a force balance condition to recalculate d0 might be a solution for improving the reliability of the results. Comparison of experimental results with simulation showed that an overall satisfying agreement is reached but discrepancies are still present.

New equations for calculating residual stress distribution are derived from the theory of elasticity for tubes. The initial distribution of the stresses including the shearing stress is computed from longitudinal distributions of residual stresses measured by the X-ray methods at the surface after removal of successive concentric layers of material. For example, the residual stresses of a steel tube quenched in water were measured by the X-ray diffraction method. The new method was also applied to a short tube with hypothetical residual stress distribution. An alternative finite element analysis was made for a verification. The residual stresses computed by finite element modeling agreed well with the hypothetical residual stresses measured. This shows that good results can be expected from the new method. The equations can also be used for bars by simple modification.
