Characterization of residual stresses induced by electron beam welding
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:434895
In order to assure that welded joints will perform acceptably, it is important to know the residual stress state in, and in the vicinity of the weld. In this report, residual stresses in electron beam welded specimens are characterized. They were measured using hole drilling and XRD. Residual stress data available in published electron beam weld studies were reviewed to supplement the collected measured data. Although there is considerable variability, trends can be established which should be considered by designers and manufacturers for structures to be fabricated by electron beam welding.
