Abstract

This article deals with non-destructive detection method of residual stress as analytical tool of expected distribution of residual stress in surface and sub-surface layers. Based on measurements, which can consists of cloud of points, lines or surface map of residual stress, we can simulate potential distribution of residual stress in surface and subsurface layers via mathematical-statistical procedures. Right identification of residual stress and its distribution can improve the prediction of failures and similar damage incidences due to workload over lifetime of components and also, it can be used as evaluation parameter of suitability of applied manufacturing technological operations.

Highlights

  • Residual stresses are an integral part of manufactured workpieces, whether they are introduced deliberately, as a part of the design, as a by-product of a process carried out during the manufacturing process, or are present as the product of the component’s service history

  • Measurement of residual stress is a topical problem by which we can predict the functional properties of parts

  • Principles of X-ray diffraction can measure the residual stress at microstructure levels and so push the boundaries of measuring in this area

Summary

Introduction

Residual stresses are an integral part of manufactured workpieces, whether they are introduced deliberately, as a part of the design, as a by-product of a process carried out during the manufacturing process, or are present as the product of the component’s service history. Residual stress is stress which affects the entire volume of part or the majority of itself, i.e. macroscopic character. X-ray diffraction is a specific method that can measure residual stress quantitatively in crystalline and semi-crystalline materials, which include virtually all metals and their alloys, and most ceramic materials. It is a non-destructive detection technology in many applications, and is widely accepted by the engineering community, being the subject of SAE and ASTM publications, which provide reliable sources of information on methods to ensure repeatability and reliability in the results of measurements. This article is focused on determining stress characteristics and their simulated prediction of distribution in surface and subsurface layers
