In this study, the welded residual stresses test was carried out with pure titanium and TIG welded material using in chemical plants an airplane frames etc.. The relationship between process parameters and residual stresses is complex since a number of factors are involved. Extensive studies have been carried out to determine the effects of various process parameters on residual stress. The result of micro-hardness about butt welded spacemen was measured of low hardness value in the melting metal zone. The residual stress of welded zone on the Titanium plate by the sectioning method and finite element method was high measured in the spacemen of high current and voltage. Also, compressive residual stress in the range of distance about 15∼20mm from the middle of the deposited metal area is very change. The result of impact test about butt welded spacemen of pure titanium plate was measured of very difference in the welded bead, heat affect zone and base metal, and be measured of high impact value in the heat affect zone. The measure result of welded residual stresses about pure titanium is high measured hen nominal steel plate. The V-Type butt welded spacemen, that of the measurement result on the welded residual stress is high measure then X-Type butt welded spacemen.

Residual stresses induced in U-bending and tube-to-tubesheet joining processes of PWR's steam generator row-1 tube were measured by X-ray method and Hole-Drilling Method(HDM). The stresses resulting from the Internal pressure and the temperature gradient in the steam generator were also estimated theoretically. In U-bent lesions, the residual stresses at extrados were induced with compressive stress(-), and its maximum value reached -319 MPa in axial direction at ${\psi}=0^{\circ}$ in position. Maximum tensile residual stress of 170MPa was found to be at the flank side at Position of${\psi}=90^{\circ}$, i.e., at apex region. In tube-to-tubesheet fouling methods, the residual stresses induced by the explosive joint method were found to be lower than that by the mechanical roll method. The gradient of residual stress along the expanded tube was highest at the. transition region, and the residual stress in circumferential direction was found to be higher than the residual stress in axial direction. Hoop stress due to an internal pressure between primary and secondary side was analyzed to be 76 MPa and thermal stress was 45 MPa.

The degree of work hardening in the subsurface zones varied with the experimental conditions under the rolling contact fatigue wear test of high carbon Cr-Ti alloy steel was evaluated by the distribution of residual stresses. Surface residual stresses before the test did not affect the wear property. Surface residual stresses after the test decreased by the increase of contact stress and running. velocity. but the maximum compressive residual stress and its depth of saturation in the subsurface zone increased. The relationship between these experimental results and the distribution of the theoritical shear stress was also discussed.

Residual stress is generated in the structures as a result of irregular elastic-plastic deformation during fabrication processes such as welding, heat treatment, and mechanical processing. There are several factors attributed to the origin of residual stresses, tensile or compressive. The stresses can be determined by destructive ways or nondestructive ways using X-ray or neutron diffraction. Although X-ray diffraction is a well established technique, it is practically limited to near-surface stresses. Neutrons penetrate easily into most materials and neutron diffraction permits non-destructive evaluation of lattice strain within the bulk of large specimens because the radiation is more deeply penetrating for metallic engineering components. This paper presented application of neutron diffraction technique to the residual stress measurement using 20 mm thick welded stainless steel plate($100{\times}100 \textrm{mm}^2$)

Valve springs with high fatigue strength corresponding to the incresement of working stresses, are required for the higher generating power and the better fuel economy of automobile engines. For this purpose, high strength oil tempered wires are being used. By a method of the high strength for the valve spring, modification of manufacturing processes is being applied. In this case, the cause and effect for the improvement of the fatigue strength has not yet been explained obviously. Therefore, in this report, comparison of fatigue life between valve springs of conventional processes with oil tempered wires and new manufacturing processes was made. As a result of the fatigue test, the fatigue life of the latter was attained maximum 7 times than that of the former. It was cleared that the improvement of the fatigue life was caused by difference of compressive residual stresses at depth of 0.2mm below the inner side surface of both valve springs.

Thick-walled cylinders, such as a cannon or nuclear reactor, are autofrettaged to induce advantageous residual stresses into pressure vessels and to increase operating pressure and the fatigue lifetimes. As the autofrettage level increases, the magnitude of compressive residual stress at the bore also increases. However, the Bauschinger effect reduces the compressive residual stresses as a result of prior tensile plastic strain, and decreases the beneficial autofrettage effect. The purpose of the present paper is to predict the accurate residual stress of SNCM8 high strength steel using the Kendall model which was adopted by ASME Code. The uniaxial Bauschinger effect test was performed to decide BEF, then this constant was used in calculation. There were some differences between theoretical solution and modified solution.

In this paper, the neutron diffraction is applied to the residual stress measurement on the 20mm-thick welded stainless steel plate ($100^{\circ}$$\times$100$mm^2$). The High Resolution Powder Diffractormeter of the Korea Atomic Research Institute The power of nuclear reactor was 24 MWt and the measured reflection in the 220 plane (2$\theta$ is $95^{\circ}$and wavelength is 1.8340 ${\AA}$ . The Poisson ratio of 0.265 and elastic constant of 211 GPa are applied to the calculation of stresses and strains. Three directional components such as normal, transverse, and longitudinal stresses are measured and the results show that the most of longitudinal stress is tensile and decreases, changing to compressive depending on the distance away from the welded spot. However, transverse component is changing from tensile to compressive along the depth of the welded point.

In manufacturing of pipe walls for boiler units, distortion can result in pipe-web-pipe joints from the nonuniform expansion and contraction of the weld metal and the adjacent base metal during heating and cooling cycle of the welding process. In this study, the stresses and strains during longitudinal welding of the plate-to-pipe joint were investigated. Using the method of successive elastic solution, longitudinal stresses and strains during and after welding were calculated from the information of temperature distributions obtained by Rosenthal's equations. In order to confirm the validity of the numerical results, the temperature and residual stress distributions were measured and compared with the calculated results. In spite of some assumptions, the one-dimensional analytical results of residual stresses were in fairly good agreement with the experimental ones. The residual stresses due to welding of plate-to-pipe joints are tensile near the weld line and compressive in the base metal as in the welding of plates. the amount and distribution of residual stresses were deeply dependent on the heat input ratio of the plate and pipe.

For the purpose of clarifying the influence of welding residual stress to the fatigue crack propagations behaviour, an analytical investigation based on finite element method is performed to examine the opening behaviour of tip-closed crack in the compressive residual stress. A finite element model comprised of contact elements for the crack plane and plane stress elements for the base material is used to evaluate crack opening stress of the crack existing in the residual stress field. Also an analytical method based on the superposition principle to estimate the length of opened part of tip closed crack and the stress distribution adjacent to the crack during uploading is applied to the finite element model. The software for the analysis is ABAQUS, which is a general purpose finite element package. The results show that stresses distributed on the crack surfaces are reduced and approached to zero as the applied stresses are increased up to crack tip opening stress and no mechanical discontinuity is found at the boundary of contact elements and plane stress elements. It is verified that the opening behavior of the fatigue crack in the residual stress can be predicted by finite element method with the proposed analytical method.

Risidual stress of cylindrical glass rods are measured by photoelasticity to study the variation of stresses with respect to heat treatment temperatures. In order to measure the stresses accurately, fringe sharpening and multiplication techniques are applied to the determination of photoelastic fringe orders. Filon's separationmethod is used to resolve circumferential and redial stress ocmponents from isochromatic fringes which are the same as in-plane maximum shearing stresses. According to the photoelastic measurements, residual stress is increased as the heat treatment temperature of the rods is raised from $560^{\circ}C$ to $650^{\circ}C$ All the circumferential stress components are changed from tensile stresses to compressive ones at approximate $R_m$/$R_o$ = 0.6, where $R_o$/ is outer radius and $R_m$any measured radius. This analysis shows that residual stresses of the glass rods approach zero if the rods are heat-treated near the strain point.
