Eddy current residual stress profiling in surface-treated engine alloys

چکیده
Recent research results indicate that eddy current conductivity measurements can be exploited for nondestructive evaluation of subsurface residual stresses in surface-treated nickel-base superalloy components. According to this approach, the depth-dependent electric conductivity profile is calculated from the measured frequency-dependent apparent eddy current conductivity spectrum. Then, the residual stress depth profile is calculated from the conductivity profile based on the piezoresistivity coefficient of the material, which is determined separately from calibration measurements using the known external applied stresses. This paper reviews the basic principles, measurement procedures, advantages, and limitations of eddy current residual stress profiling.

High-frequency eddy current conductivity spectroscopy for residual stress profiling in surface-treated nickel-base superalloys
Recent research results indicated that eddy current conductivity measurements can be exploited for nondestructive evaluation of subsurface residual stresses in surface-treated nickel-base superalloy components. Most of the previous experimental studies were conducted on highly peened (Almen 10-16A) specimens that exhibited harmful cold work in excess of 30% plastic strain. Such high level of co...

متن کاملEddy Current Assessment of Near-Surface Residual Stress in Shot-Peened Inhomogeneous Nickel-Base Superalloys
Recently, it has been shown that shot-peened nickel-base superalloys exhibit an approximately 1% increase in apparent eddy current conductivity at high inspection frequencies, which can be exploited for nondestructive subsurface residual stress assessment. Unfortunately, microstructural inhomogeneity in certain as-forged and precipitation hardened nickel-base superalloys, like Waspaloy, can lea...
