Shot peening is an important surface treatment which can induce compressive residual stress and refine micro-structure in the deformed surface layer. In this paper, the conventional shot peening, dual shot peening and triple shot peening have been applied to S30432 austenitic stainless steel. The residual stress and micro-structure in the deformed layer were investigated by X-ray diffraction method. The results revealed that a compressive residual stress field was induced in the deformed layer for all shot peening conditions. As the shot peening step increased, the compressive residual stresses increased in near surface layer, and then deceased faster in deeper deformed layer. In terms of microstructure, the domain size increased, while the micro-strain decreased with the depth increasing in the deformed layer. Compare with the effect of three different shot peening method, triple shot peenng is more effective to optimize the compressive residual stress, microstructure and micro-hardness of S30432 austenitic stainless steel.

The mechanical properties of austenitic stainless steel are rarely improved by heat treatment. Shot peening is a well-known cold working process that affects thin surface of materials. By controlling the shot peening intensity and shot size, the variable mechanical properties film thickness was obtained from 0.05 mm to 0.5 mm. The damping factor and compressive residual stress are determined experimentally and forming a relation between them. It was found that damping factor in thin film surface increases with depth of deformed layer. An investigation was carried out, and it was found that the increase in damping factor was due to introduction of compressive residual stress and increased hardness due to shot peening. The paper discusses a model of changing damping properties with compressive residual stress and depth of deformed layer of austenitic stainless steel.

A 3D finite element model is established to simulate the ultrasonic shot peening process by using a finite element software ABAQUS. The residual stress distribution of the AISI 304 stainless steel induced by ultrasonic shot peening (USP) is predicted by finite element analysis. Ultrasonic shot peening (USP) process can cause a compressive residual stress layer on the surface of the material. During the simulation, many factors, e.g., ultrasonic shot peening duration, initial residual stress, hourglass, etc., are taken into consideration for the purpose of optimizing the process. The simulation results show that ultrasonic shot peening can produce a compressive residual stress layer on the surface of the material even if there is initial residual tensile stress (250MPa) and the longer peening duration. The residual stress of simulation were compared with the experiment data which were obtained under the same ultrasonic shot peening parameters and have a good agreement with the measurement values by X-ray diffraction method. In conclusion, ultrasonic shot peening is an effective method for protecting weldments against stress corrosion cracking by introducing the compressive residual stress layer into the surface of stainless steel.

As a novel surface strengthening technique, Water-jet cavitation peening has been applied to improve the fatigue life by inducing the compressive residual stress in the near surface layer of mechanical components. Compared with conventional shot peening, one advantage of WCP is that the complicated and tiny surface can be peened more easily. In this study, the small holes with various diameters and depths in the SUS304 stainless steel specimens were treated by WCP. In order to estimate its strengthening capability to the small holes, the surface residual stress and the depth distributions in the near surface layer of the small holes were measured by X-ray diffraction method. The experimental results show that WCP can successfully improve the near surface compressive residual stress of small holes. The maximum of surface compressive residual stress of WCP state is up to around –450 MPa. The dept of compressive residual stress zone is up to around 125 μm.

Residual stress generated in Type-316 austenitic stainless steel butt-weld jointed by Inconel-182 was measured using a neutron diffraction method and compared with values calculated using FEM analysis. The measured values of Type-316 austenitic stainless steel as base material agreed well with the calculated ones. The diffraction had high intensity and a sharp profile in the base metal. However, it was difficult to measure the residual stress at the weld metal due to very weak diffraction intensities. This phenomenon was caused by the texture in the weld material generated during the weld procedure. As a result, this texture induced an inaccurate evaluation of the residual stress. Procedures for residual stress evaluation to solve this textured material problem are discussed in this paper. As a method for stress evaluation, the measured strains obtained from a different diffraction plane with strong intensity were modified with the ratio of the individual elastic constant. The values of residual stress obtained using this method were almost the same as those of the standard method using Hooke’s law. Also, these residual stress values agreed roughly with those from the FEM analysis. This evaluation method is effective for measured samples with a strong texture like Ni-based weld metal.

Because of the general problem of the welding workpiece such as fatigue fracture caused by tensile residual stress lead to initial and propagation crack in the fusion zone. Thus, the mechanical surface treatment of deep rolling on Gas Tungsten Arc Welded (GTAW) surfaces of AISI 316L was studied. Deep rolling (DR) is a cold working process to induce compressive residual stress in the surface layer of the workpiece resulting in hardening deformation which increased surface hardness, and smooth surface that inhibit crack growth and improve fracture strength of materials. The present study focuses on compressive residual stress at the surface of stainless steel AISI 316L butt welded joint of GTAW. The three parameters of DR process were used; pressure 150 bar, rolling speed 400 mm/min, and step over 1.0 mm. The residual stresses analysis by X-ray diffraction with sin2Ψ method at 0, 5, 10, and 20 mm from the center of the welded bead. The results showed that the DR process on the welded of GTAW induce the minimum compressive residual stress-408.6 MPa and maximum-498.1 MPa in longitudinal direction. The results of transverse residual stress in minimum and maximum are 43.7 MPa and-34.8 MPa respectively. The FWHM of DR both longitudinal and transverse direction were increased in the same trend. Furthermore, the microhardness after DR treatment on workpiece surface layer higher than GTAW average 0.4 times.

The fine grains and strain-induced martensite were fabricated in the surface layer of AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel by shot peening treatment. The shot peening effects on the microstructure evolution and nitrogen diffusion kinetics in the plasma nitriding process were investigated by optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results indicated that when nitriding treatments carried out at 450°C for times ranging from 0 to 36h, the strain-induced martensite transformed to supersaturated nitrogen solid solution (expanded austenite), and slip bands and grain boundaries induced by shot peening in the surface layer lowered the activation energy for nitrogen diffusion and evidently enhanced the nitriding efficiency of austenitic stainless steel.

Thermal relaxation behavior of residual stress and microstructure in the near-surface layers of dual shot peened Inconel alloy 625 was investigated by X-ray diffraction method. Residual stress on the top surface layer was significantly relaxed in the first 15 min at the elevated temperatures of 500°C, 600°C, and 700°C. However, there was still high maximum compressive residual stress in subsurface layers. The relaxation behavior of residual stress has contributed to the thermally activated process. The activation enthalpy Δ H and m were calculated according to the Zener–Wert–Avrami method, the values of which were 1.59 eV and 0.4934, respectively. Microstructural evaluation revealed that it was slightly changed in the near-surface layers after various isothermal treatments. Accordingly, high level of compressive residual stress and dislocation density resulted in the retained mechanical properties of dual shot peened Inconel 625, which was discussed based on the relaxation of microstructure and microhardness.

The residual stress tensor for cracked austenitic stainless steel was measured by a two-dimensional X-ray diffraction method. Higher von Mises equivalent stress concentrations, attributed to hot crack initiation, were obtained at both crack ends. The stress of 400 MPa at the crack end in the columnar grain region was about two-fold larger than that of 180 MPa in the equiaxed grain region. This difference was caused by a depression in the cast slab.

The thermal relaxation behavior of residual stress and microstructure at high temperatures in S30432 austenitic stainless steel after shot peening was investigated by X-ray residual stress analyzer. The effects of exposure time and applied temperature on the residual stress and microstructure relaxation were particularly analyzed and discussed. A significant decrease of the residual stress values were observed in the first period of exposure time, followed by slowing down and then stabilization. It was also observed that a higher applied temperature produced greater relaxation. In terms of microstructure, the domain size and micro-strain were calculated by Voigt method, the results showed that the refined domain size and high micro-strain induced by shot peening were greatly relaxed at the first stage of annealing, then stabilized. With higher annealing temperature, the recrystallization behavior in the shot peened deformed layer was more obvious. Based on the results of line profile analysis, the recrystallization activation energy and micro-strain relaxation energy were calculated, respectively.
