Residual Stress Mapping in Welds using the Contour Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 excellent agreement. The results provide useful information for safetycritical design of welded components and optimization of welding parameters, and also illustrate the potential of the contour technique as a powerful tool for residual stress evaluation.

There are many residual stresses measurement techniques including destructive and non-destructive ones...
متن کاملResidual Stresses Measurement in Hollow Samples Using Contour Method
Residual stresses are created usually undesirably during manufacturing processes, including casting, welding, metal forming, etc. Residual stresses alone or in combination with other factors can cause the destruction and fracture of components or significant decline in their service life. Therefore, it is crucial to measure the residual stresses. Contour method is a destructive testing method c...
متن کاملAssessment of Numerical Procedures for Residual Stress Analysis of Multipass Welds
Two-dimensional finite element modeling procedures are addressed to predict the residual stresses for multipass welds. A generalized plane strain model with a five-pass weld in a plate and an axisymmetric model with a six-pass girth weld in a pipe are considered. Element rebirth and pass-lumping techniques are employed in both models. The combined heat input using surface and body flux componen...

Evaluation of residual stress in the weld toe region is of critical importance. In this paper, the residual stress distribution both near the surface and in depth around the weld toe was investigated using neutron diffraction, complemented with X-ray diffraction. Measurements were done on a 1300 MPa yield strength steel welded using a Low Transformation Temperature (LTT) consumable. Near surfac...
متن کاملDefect Detection and Residual Stress Measurement in Friction Stir Welds using Laser Ultrasonics
The laser-ultrasonic technique is proposed for defect detection and residual stress measurement in friction stir welds (FSW). When combined with the synthetic aperture focusing technique (F-SAFT), very good performances are achieved for detecting lack of penetration in butt joints, the detection limit coinciding with the conditions of reduced mechanical properties. Also, the detection of kissin...
