Abstract

Residual stress remains the single largest unknown in industrial damage situations. Residual stresses have a significant effect on corrosion, fracture resistance, creep and corrosion/fatigue performance and a reduction of these stresses is normally desirable. In this research high energy synchrotron (70 keV) radiation (at the Advanced Photon Source) and thermal neutrons (at the Lucas Heights Research Reactor) have been employed to investigate and compare the residual stress characteristics in fully restrained samples with different numbers of weld beads. The aim of the research was to characterize the residual stress distribution which arises in a welded component with increasing number of beads. The number and resolution of the measurements carried out in this work reveal significant features of the residual stress pattern in single bead in the as-welded condition and after post-weld heat treatment. The intention is to provide key data for the validation of design, fitness-for-purpose methodologies and finite-element tools. In this presentation the details of the synchrotron X-ray and neutron techniques will be compared and contrasted, utilizing results from a number of weldment samples.

Residual Stress Analysis in Girth-welded Ferritic and Austenitic Steel Pipes Using Neutron and X-Ray Diffraction

Conference Hempel, Nico ; Bunn, Jeffrey R ; Nitschke-Pagel, Thomas ; ...

This paper is dedicated to the thorough experimental analysis of the residual stresses in the vicinity of tubular welds and the mechanisms involved in their formation. Pipes made of a ferritic-pearlitic structural steel and an austenitic stainless steel are investigated in this study. The pipes feature a similar geometry and are MAG welded with two passes and comparable parameters. Residual strain mappings are carried out using X-ray and neutron diffraction. The combined use of both techniques permits both near-surface and through-wall analyses of the residual stresses. The findings allow for a consistent interpretation of the mechanisms accounting for the formationmore »« less
Comparison of neutron and synchrotron diffraction measurements of residual stress in bead-on-plate weldments.

Journal Article Paradowska, A. M. ; Price, J. W. ; Finlayson, T. R. ; ... - J. Pressure Vessel Technol.

This paper explores the use of neutron and synchrotron diffractions for the evaluation of residual stresses in welded components. It has been shown that it is possible to achieve very good agreement between the two independent diffraction techniques. This study shows the significance of the weld start and end sites on the residual strain/stress distribution. Quantitative evaluation of the residual stress development process for multibead weldments has been presented. Some measurements were also taken before and after postweld stress relieving to establish the reduction and redistribution of the residual stress. The detailed measurements of residual stress around the weld achievedmore »« less

FEA predictions of residual stress in stainless steel compared to neutron and x-ray diffraction measurements. [Finite element analysis]

Conference Flower, E.C. ; MacEwen, S.R. ; Holden, T.M.

Residual stresses in a body arise from nonuniform plastic deformation and continue to be an important consideration in the design and the fabrication of metal components. The finite element method offers a potentially powerful tool for predicting these stresses. However, it is important to first verify this method through careful analysis and experimentation. This paper describes experiments using neutron and x-ray diffraction to provide quantitative data to compare to finite element analysis predictions of deformation induced residual stress in a plane stress austenitic stainless steel ring. Good agreement was found between the experimental results and the numerical predictions. Effects ofmore »« less

Residual stress distribution in steel butt welds measured using neutron and synchrotron diffraction.

Journal Article Paradowska, A. M. ; Price, J. W. H. ; Finlayson, T. R. ; ... - J. Phys.: Cond. Matter

70 keV synchrotron radiation and thermal neutrons have been employed to investigate the residual stress characteristics in a fully restrained, steel, butt weld. The focus is on the values of the subsurface and through-thickness strain/stress variation in the middle of the weld. The advantages and limitations of the techniques have been addressed, in relation to the gauge volume, the stress-free reference sample and positioning. The measurement of residual stress around the weld achieved in this work significantly improves the resolution at which residual stress in welded components has been determined.
