Method of X-ray residual stress measurement for phase transformed welds

Modelling Residual Stress and Phase Transformations in Steel Welds

Mathematical modelling of welding phenomena is very complex: involving melt pool phenomena, solidification, weldability analysis, microstructure evolution in the heat affected zone, welding heat-flow simulation, electrical-thermal-mechanical simulation etc. Some interactions between these processes are included in Fig. 1. Each topic alone can be intellectually challenging and too hard to be inv...

Residual Stress Mapping in Welds using the Contour Method

The contour method, a newly-invented sectioning technique for residual stress measurement, has the potential to measure the cross-sectional residual stress profile of a weld in a simple and time-efficient manner. In this paper we demonstrate the capability of the contour method to measure cross-sectional residual stress profiles, which are compared with neutron diffraction measurements and show...

Depth-resolved residual stress evaluation from X-ray diffraction measurement data using the approximate inverse method

The paper deals with the depth determination of residual stress states from diffraction data. First an historical overview of the known approaches is given. Then we apply the approximate inverse method to this problem. This method is known to be very efficient and stable with respect to noise-contaminated data. It is even possible to prove convergence and it allows an error estimate of the calc...

The Localized Eigenstrain Method for Determination of Triaxial Residual Stress in Welds

This paper discusses the localized eigenstrain method, a new technique for the determination of triaxial residual stresses deep within long welded joints. The technique follows from the " Inherent Strain Method " developed by Ueda, which uses a combined experimental and analytical approach to determine the source of residual stress (i.e., " eigenstrain " or, equivalently, " inherent strain ") b...
