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.

Water cavitation peening (WCP) with aeration is a recent potential method in the surface enhancement techniques. In this method, a ventilation nozzle is adopted to improve the process capability of WCP by increasing the impact pressure, which is induced by the bubble collapse on the surface of components in the similar way as conventional shot peening(SP). In this paper, the process capability of water cavitation peening and shot peening is investigated, The residual stresses in the near-surface and surface morphologies of spring steel SAE 1070 was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy (OM). After peening treatment, changes in surface morphologies, as well as residual stress with the different peening duration were recorded. The obtained results indicate that the WCP processing had a better surface finish than SP processing.

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, the influence of water cavitation peening (WCP) treatment on the microstructure of spring steel SAE 1070 was investigated. The microstructural evolution in the near-surface of spring steel SAE 1070 as a function of WCP time was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy (OM). After WCP treatment, changes in the microstructure, as well as residual stress and surface morphologies as functions of WCP time, were recorded using a novel experimental design involving an in-situ observation function. The obtained results indicated that the refinement grains were induced by WCP in the strengthening layer. A stable compressive residual stress layer was found in the near-surface of the investigated spring steel SAE 1070.

It is well known that there is a lager deviation in the fatigue life of machined components even under nominally identical loading conditions. Understanding and controlling fatigue life variance are essential to enhance reliability. However, few research focus on the impact of machining processes on the fatigue life variance of machined components. In this study, surface residual stress distributions of bearing rings randomly selected from a production line by super-finishing grinding, are measured by X-ray diffraction method in cutting and feed direction, and its scatter is analyzed by statistical tools. Based on the variance prediction theories, build a simplified fatigue life variance prediction model incorporating the resultant residual stresses scatter induced by machining process. Based on the Basquin equation, the model is validated by experimental data published in literature. The predicted fatigue life agrees well with the experimental average fatigue life. Statistical analysis shows that the predicted variances of fatigue life are equal to those estimated from experimental fatigue life.

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.

A large number of cracks are found in the 1500m3Liquefied Light hydrocarbons vessel during the inspection after two years of running.In totally,six vessels being fully heated treated is made of 15MnNbR. Researchers used X-ray stress analyzer measured the welding residual stress of vessels that have been cracked and uncracked. The results show that, residual stress of uncracked spherical vessels are in good condition, while those value of cracked is high, the value of the highest is 1.05σs. It indicates that the possible reason for the separation is the residual stress in the high state. Through welding and heat treated for the second time, the welding residual stress decreased obviously. It indicates the impact of this measure is good.

A numerical approach has been developed to predict the near surface residual stresses induced by turning in orthogonal cutting configuration of aluminum alloy AA7075-T651. This approach is based on a Lagrangian formulation using the finite element software Abaqus–Explicit. The calculated residual stress profiles were validated by experimental measurements using X-ray diffraction method on samples turned under different cutting conditions. Using this method, the effect of the cutting speed and the feed on the machining residual stress has been established.

The residual stress with different degree is inevitable to be introduced during the welding process for high strength 7N01 Al alloys, which will deteriorate the mechanical properties in service. Therefore, a proper characterization method is of vital importance to obtain the detailed residual stress distribution. The conventional X-ray diffraction method can only measure the residual stress of near surface but cannot determine the internal bulk stress with nondestructive way. In the present work, a new Short-Wave X-Ray Diffraction (SWXRD) test methodology was utilized, which can evaluate not only the surface but also the internal residual stress of a crystalline material by applying the monochromatic short-wave X-ray of high-energy. The results show that there is a “M” shaped distribution of residual stress of longitudinal direction (LD) in different affected zone. Furthermore, the characterization of residual stress along weld depth direction demonstrates that the middle part of weld joint is subjected to tensile stress while the rest is subjected to compressive stress.

The residual stress in the milling of 7050-T7451 aluminum alloy was measured using X-ray diffraction method in which Psi-oscillation, Phi-oscillation and peak fit were adopted. Cutting speed and feed are main variables which were considered in this study. The results show that compressive residual stresses are generated in surface for the down milling generally, which is mainly due to burnishing effect between the tools flank face and the machined surface. In feed and its orthogonal direction, the effect of cutting speed and feed speed on residual stress is similar. Therefore, required residual stress can be achieved by controlling the cutting condition such as cutting speed, feed speed etc.
